| 2nd top on a 15 mile solo walk from New Radnor to Kington. Revisit after the horror of Great Creigiau, this one is so much easier. Sad that the Bronze Age barrow is getting so badly damaged by motorbikes. Still a lovely spot in the sun though. Onwards to Bache Hill. | thesweetcheat | 08/10/2022 |

| Easy path from Bache Hill. Continued to Great Rhos. | Nick Canute | 02/09/2022 |
| From Great Rhos, stayed up on the plateau around the N end of Harley Dingle near Shepherd's Well. There are paths, though not marked on the OS map. Very similar to Great Rhos. Plenty of Red Kites around. Solo | RoguePulsar | 15/08/2022 |

| A very pleasant clockwise circuit of Great Rhos, Black Mixen and Bache Hill from New Radnor.Up Lane from Haine's Mill, round the three tops to finish down th Lane into the Centre of New Radnor. Good all th way except for a short stretch of dep heather from the gate at the end of the track before great Rhos. Path down through the woods near the end rather overgrown at this time of year but not a problem. | dickscroop | 23/09/2021 |
