9.1 mile Sugar Loaf via Der Allt Circular

Me and my hound are planning to do this hike if you'd like to join us!

Please note, I have NOT recced this walk beforehand hence doing it on a weekday to limit numbers attending. If you decide to sign up, please be prepared to explore and learn with me. Due to the terrain, a reasonable level of fitness is required. Once we know who is attending, we can discuss possible car sharing and any other planning.

Meet point
We could meet at Fairfield Car park - Avenue Rd, Abergavenny NP7 7DB. However, it does cost £7 for day parking - so might be a good idea to arrange a meet point to car share - although this will be dependent on how many people sign up.

Walk
This hike is 9.1 miles with an elevation gain of 2089ft and is considered moderately challenging. I will include the route and elevation in photos below so people are aware of the trail. There are some steep parts - with a reward of some amazing views once at the top.

Refreshments
I am planning to stop halfway for a packed lunch - so please ensure you pack enough food and drink for the hike. Looking at the reviews about the walk, we will pass the Sugar Loaf Vineyard on the way back - which is worth a visit - if people are interested.

Dogs
It states that the hike is dog friendly - and I'm taking mine although suggest they should be on the lead at all times due to possible free roaming livestock. Dogs are welcome at the vineyard too.

Somerset Singles walking group:
£1 fee is payable on the day and this is to help towards the subscription fee for use of the Meet Up App.

WEATHER
If bad weather is forecast, the walk will be cancelled the day before.
If the weather is horrendous on the day it will be cancelled on the morning of the walk, by 8:00 am
