From Bache Hill vie bridleway then steep path to S of farm building. Great hill, and maybe the best of the day despite not quite being a simm, 4th of 5 tumps on a 10 mile circuit. Thunder in the distance and red kites circling. Solo | RoguePulsar | 15/08/2022 |

With Kerry. Delightful. | Smog | 18/09/2020 |
2/8 A splendid round trip of the Great Rhos to bag 3 Deweys. From New Radnor up bridleway, with quick hop over the fence (SO 214 619) and up the field to Knowle Hill, back down and up FP through wood to barns, then direct up to the Whimble (splendid summit), back down and revisited Bache Hill and the transmitter at Black Mixen, visiting the deleted Nuttall, Great Creigau, en route. Then a significant descent to bag my second Dewey, Fron-wen (disappointing - just a rise in a forest road) and on to revisit Marilyn Great Rhos, before a long trek over wild moors to my final Dewey, Nyth-grug, and a lengthy road walk back to New Radnor. All in all a great walk with good views. 25km with 900m ascent in 7 hours. (S) | silveracorn_alan | 24/07/2020 |

Knowle Hill - Whimble - Bache Hill - Great Creigiau - Black Mixen - Great Rhos. Basically the Nuttalls route with occasional diversions to take in the three bonus summits. Mainly cloudy and breezy but dry. | Herbert Anchovy | 29/07/2017 |
A fine circuit with 5 trigs, on a perfect sunny day. Beginning to be converted to TuMPing by Alex and co, and regaining proficiency in climbing barbed wire fences. From New Radnor, over the superb Whimble, Bache Hill, direct to Black Mixen (noooo - follow the track), edge of forest and peaty tracks to Great Rhos, then seduced away from the indistinct correct line to the forestry by Nuttall baggers track, but correct line regained off piste. Through forest, then up to Nyth Grug, Mynd, Black Brook track to A44, direttissima towards Molecatchers Wood, Castle Hill, and The Smatcher. | Gill | 26/03/2017 |

With Jenx from New Radnor. Clockwise circuit of all the tops on a decent weather day, followed a damp start. | nordicstar | 11/07/2016 |
Climbed Whimble and Black Mixen from New Radnor along road past forest and then pleasant track along Ystol Bach brook and Whinyard Rocks. Was solo, whilst supervising DofE Silver expedition. Returned same route. Weather dry and cloudy to start with, but mist and rain appearing by the time I got to the transmitter station on Black Mixen (so abandoned plan to climb Great Rhos). Whimble is a fine shapely summit with great views across the Welsh border-lands. Shame it doesn't quite make 2000 feet! | jamessteel100 | 19/06/2016 |
From New Radnor on a reverse direction of Nuttall's 11.4 walk. Took in 6 hills, this being the fifth. | jonglew | 16/06/2016 |

Radnor forest circular walk: Whimble, Bache Hill, Black Mixen, Great Rhos. Very quiet despite a nice sunny day- I saw three more dead sheep skeletons than people, and I only saw three skeletons… | Cas-gwent | 23/02/2016 |

easy hill from the village. just a straight up and down | Aristotle Chip | 13/03/2015 |
Myself and my daughter Isabelle parked in the forest to the south. We headed around the Western edge of the forest and then took to the steep slopes to reach the summit tumulus. It was quite windy with a little sleet on the summit. We headed down to the building hidden by conifers where we came across a huge snow patch about 70 metres by 30 metres and over a foot deep. It was then a case of walking through the forest to the car. | isabelle | 16/02/2015 |
Walked from New Radnor. Pleasant start to a long day. | MikeM | 17/01/2015 |
