Description

Circular route starting / ending in Llanthony Priory, remote supervising a group of Silver DofE candidates.
Heading West then North up onto the high points, following the ridge North and dropping off of the ridge on the Eastern side and turning back South, paralleling the road back to the Llanthony Priory.
Very windy and cold on top, first time managing a complete weekend on my own. Good comms trial with radios to the group and ensuring safety continually around the route.

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.
