Hay Bluff & Twmpa

A lull in the heatwave and an opportunity to go to the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) for a "proper" stretch.
I planned to follow a popular route from near Gospel pass, over Hat Bluff then along the ridge. Dropping down to Capel Y Frrin, before returning over Twmpa (or Lord Hereford's knob).

Sunday Stretch, Sarnesfield

Sue was off to church again, so I chose to go along and hen circle around o get back home - this time going north and east.
From the church heading up to Logaston, then cutting above Sarnesfield Coppice and down to the A4113/ Weobley junction. Next back towards Sarnesfield church, looping around the large house and back to the A4112 for the final mile home.

The Wye Valley Walk, Bredwardine

Another section of the Wye Valley Walk today ...  On a recent visit to Brobury house I had discovered a car park opposite the house entrance, and determined that it would be useful for the section from here to the east, Obviously used by walkers with the large map of rights of way, but also by those wanting to make use of easy access to the river beside the bridge.
Today's walk would follow the south bank (as far as possible) until the next road crossing at Bridge Sollers. Then back along the Wye Valley walk.

Queenswood & Bodenham Lake

The heatwave is still here, so another local and short walk. This time I chose to follow a route from the Kittiwake book for Hereford & Leominster.
It used the parking at the Herefordshire wildlife trust Queenswood country park and walked to a second site at Bodenham lake. The walk mainly avoided the main woods and went over Dinmore hill to Bodenham, followed by a loop around The Vern before returning.

Staunton-on-Wye Circular

Sue was walking to the church at Kinnersley, so I accompanied her and then picked up a walk from the parish council book. This went down relatively directly from the church to Staunton, then along the edge of the village, before returning home via Norton Canon.
