Description:
ODL Outdoorlads organised walk, approx 11 miles. Good weather if windy on tops. I noticed pace of group was OK to start then slower than me towards end - I think this is a feature of my pace as I am used to longer walks, so I need to bear in mind for walk leading.
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.
