Description

Nice circular route with Leigh and Soph.
The time out was shortened somewhat due to the weather - vis was so short we didn't bother finding the bothy on the return leg to stop for a brew, we just carried on. And also I was planning to do some rope work at the start of the walk in the forest but the trees were too dense making any deviation from the path impossible.
Gusting around 55mph on the high points, with constant rain for the duration.
Good poor vis nav and checking that our kit worked!

Area : Black Mountains

The Black Mountains (Welsh: Y Mynyddoedd Duon) are a group of hills spread across parts of Powys and Monmouthshire in southeast Wales, and extending across the national border into Herefordshire, England. They are the easternmost of the four ranges of hills that comprise the Brecon Beacons National Park, and are frequently confused with the westernmost, which is known as the Black Mountain. To confuse matters further, there is a peak in the Black Mountains called Black Mountain.
