This was the third and final summit of the day as we neared our target area to get accommodation that evening.

On the path to Beacon Hill        Liam at the summit

The walk is a straightforward one with hardly any gradient for much of it.  We just plodded on until the obvious left turn to the summit.

At the summit, I just used the handheld and got the requisite four contacts on 2m FM.

Settling in at the accommodation        Ready for dinner

It was now time to try to secure a bed for the night.  Our favoured place - the New Inn at Newbridge-on-Wye didn't have availability, but we got a twin room at the Llanelwedd Arms Hotel, Builth Wells.  That evening, we enjoyed Thai food, Sharps Ales and ciders in the hotel dining room and bar.  The summit earmarked for the following morning was Mynydd Eppynt GW/SW-018.
