Wye Valley Walk, Hay Westward

I had not been out for nearly a week, while I recovered from a "pain" in one heel - I was not sure what caused it or how it improved. It was not completely gone, however I could at least walk on it with out consciously favouring it.
With changeable weather since my last walk, I picked a lower level walk and another part of the Wye Valley walk, combined with parts of three walks from the Kittiwake book.
I would start at Glasbury and follow the South/ East side over the hills to Hay-on-Wye. Then return following the Wye Valley walk along the opposite side.

Bromyard Ring Walk

A brightened up day after some showers.
I had found a route around Bromyard from the Outdoor Active. This was one of a series of walks from the Bromyard walkers.
I had printed out the map - however I did find it a little small when I was walking around and guessing where it went. I should had downloaded the GPX file to my GPS and it would have helped on several sections and eased the confusion in places.

AAC Walk - Sugar Loaf, Abergavenny

I had signed up for an AAC walk this weekend - closer than the last one, being just the other side of the Black Mountains from us. The description was vague - a circuit of Sugar loaf from Abergavenny, however it has been a long while since I had been there.

Wednesday Wander, Kinnersley

Sue was looking for a local walk, but avoiding all the local overgrown stiles, so we came up with a wander around the local lanes.
The lanes in the N/S direction are single track, and the Woonton to Almeley is slightly bigger, so there was very little traffic. The same cannot be said for the A4112, but we have walked there before and know the danger points.
The walk was all on tarmac (although sometimes covered in mud!) and very obvious navigation.

Dragon's back Extended, Pengenffordd

After several days of heavy rain followed by showers, there was a good chance of better weather today, so I chose to head towards Abergavenny and a route that I had often looked at on the way to or from Steph.
The idea was to park at the Pengenffordd, then head up to Castel Dinas. From here follow the ridge up to Y Grib, then continue to Pen y Manllwyn before turning to Waun Fach. Still on the horseshoe route to Pen Trumau and the subsequent cain marking the point to leave it.
From here continuing along the ridge to Mynydd Llysiau, and Pen Twyn Glas.
Next down to the valley and along the old road/ trackway back up to the car park.
