An exploration of the hills and moors north and west of Rhayader based in the bothy at Lliest-cwm-bach. The first evening I was accompanied by a club member, but the next two days were solo. I avoided paths as much as possible and visited numerous small tops and ancient sites on the moorland, before returning to Rhayader to catch a bus and return to London.
