Sunday 18th March
Skirrid & Bryn Arw
Moderate/Strenuous 13 miles (760m ascent)
CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER CONDITIONS
This is a lovely walk with two, or maybe three, ascents over the beautiful hills at the south-eastern edge of the Black Mountains. On a clear day, there are great views of the Sugar Loaf, Black Mountains and Usk Valley. This was the walk the leader led for the Crickhowell Walking Festival in 2016 and it is quite a tough walk. Boots and full mountain walking gear (warm hat, gloves, etc.) essential - walking poles recommended.
Sunday 25th March
Upper Arley
Easy/Moderate 9 miles
A beautiful walk based around the riverside village of Arley. The walk takes in nearby Eymore Wood and Hawkbatch Wood, both banks of the River Severn, and Trimpley Reservoir. You’ll also hear, and see, plenty of steam trains on the Severn Valley Railway. We make a steady ascent to our lunch break at Seckley Viewpoint, which offers a spectacular view of the Severn Valley.
We have a choice of pub, ice cream shop, or riverside café for refreshments at the end of the walk.
