Walks:
29-Oct: 10AM Llanhelyn Pool
The meeting point for Wednesday's walk is by the side of Llanhelyn Pool, which is about half a mile from the Forest Inn on the road toward Builth. Parking is available for about 10 cars, and if needed we can go into the field running pass the pool as it is owned by Grace's uncles and farmed by her brothers.
Start Point:Map 200 SO166582
Conditions:7 - 7.5 Miles The walk starts with a uphill section that runs for about half a mile, then it flattens out along a really good track untill it drops a little as we pass the Rhewey on our right. There is then quite a steep uphill section, coffee will either be at the bottom or top of this stretch, depending on what time we get there. We will then descend over the moorland to the site of the hippy commune of the 70's at Cwmkesty, possibly the site for lunch but again dependant on what time we get there. We will then return to Llanheyln pool via Black Yatt and the Foice farm, or another route, if I get lost. Hopefully the forcast rain will pass through over Tuesday night as the walk is all on upland and when I recced the route yesterday, I went astray a little in the mist, but I am confident that I know where I wet wrong. When I walked it yesterday, despite the mist I heard the call of a Grouse and had some great views.

19-Nov: 10AM Alpaca experience
Parking for half a dozen cars of road next to the church
Start Point:SN 97440 77428 Explorer Map 214
Conditions: 6 miles or so with minor ups and downs (less than 1000 feet) to get to and from some marvellous views. Little bit or road walking at the start but mainly established paths after that. Couple of stretches of bracken to negotiate and a river to cross without the aid of a bridge. Plastic bags may be necessary if there has been a lot of rain. I'll check a day or 2 before hand as there is a dry alternative.
