1/5 from Warren Wood. Very cloudy today, so can’t see more than 20m in any direction. I’m assured the views are stunning when visible. Walked up along green lane and when reached the common headed directly up the hill along the fence. Just 20m shy of the trig is a fence, but no fear, gate just along it to get to the ridge. Looks like nice farmer has added a style to allow you acces to view the flush bracket instead of climbing fence. Trig is in good condition with the spider, plug and FB intact.

From waterfall car park. Trig on opposite side of when you go through field with blown off gate. FB just happens to be on the face you can't see. Views of rolling hills nearby but no further with the cloud today

Came up from the waterfall car park to the south, accessing the hill itself near the green ban building. The remnants of Storm Freya were still around making for high winds on the top and pretty chilly - too chilly to hang around for my mates who were doing the Radnor Forest loop. Some cracks and damage around he top.

Fourth of the day but only my second new one. Last of the higher Radnor Forest tops before descending over Mynd and then back up over Castle Hill to The Smatcher. With Gill Stephens, whom I was ever so discreetly converting over to Tump bagging.

Walked over from The Smatcher. Steep hill, and slippery grass, but a great hill.

Re visit. Stunning views and wonderful winter walking. Radnor is a little gem when it comes to accesibility and views.

Went up from the higher car park and initially along track. On the way back found a notice saying that the ROW was temporarily closed for repairs(!)

Combined with Radnor Forest or Great Rhos this was on our return walk back down to the waterfall. The weather was nice and sunny most of the day with strong winds and just two heavy rain showers to contend with...! Nice views from this trig point across the complete Radnor Forest and especially south across to the Brecon Beacons.

More out of expectation as the cloud had closed in by this point and wind picked up. There are some small cracks starting to open up on this one.

Good snow conditions, the local shepherds had been skiing here, using their tractor for uplift. Pillar in good shape by a fence line. Great run down to the track, just in time as a pack of tossers on trail bikes had turned up to kill off some more moorland. Radnor Forest in Christmas card mode.

It's all intact with the original plug but there are some small cracks developing in the pillar towards the top of the South and West faces. All-in-all, though, it's OK. Some traces of paint on the north face only. Very good all-round views again! Another nice spot!
