Beacon Hill, GW/MW-009 - 547m ASL - SO 176 767 - OS Explorer 214 - 2 SOTA points Tuesday 19th April 2022 - The Cloud G/SP-015, Long Mountain-Beacon Ring GW/MW-026 & Beacon Hill GW/MW-009 This was the third and final summit of the day as we neared our target area to get accommodation that evening.
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.
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.
