Second of three pillars on the Abergavenny Three Peaks, an event run every March by Cardiff Outdoor Group. This is a mighty fine hill and so worth a full exploration of its entire bulk. My type of hill and justly rewarded to two competitors in the Barkley Marathons who are going for a 3rd and 4th completition. In 38 years only 20 people have completed this event so their attempt in 2024 speaks volumes.

We walked north from the car park about half way around the base then up from the west. This worked well as until we got to the summit it was pretty quiet. A bit chilly on top, but managed to get some photos then headed back down to warm up!

I was staying nearby and wanted to visit at least one trig point during my short time in Wales. This one was chosen for me because the rest of my party (including a 4 year old who made it to the summit) wanted to come here. The views were good, the wind was howling and the sun was out. Perfect!

I'd been walking in the Black Mountains with some friends over the weekend and we decided on The Sugarloaf as a final summit before heading home. A bit crowded up here this morning on a lovely September day. I was last up here more years ago than I care to remember.

Absolutely, by far, without a doubt, the best Trig I have been to so far out of the 62 I have done to date. The sky was clear blue and without a cloud to be seen anywhere. The views were amazing. Elevation 596 meters, (although my GPS read 603 meters). Also did as YOSM 287 on Geocaching.com

Striking hill that is recogizable from just about anywhere that it can be seen in this part of Wales due to it's distinctive shape. Strangely I don't remember much about the walk, it wasn't very memorable although I have a vague memory that the views were good, as would be expected. Retro-bagging this hill in 2012.

Fantastic view all round. Unfortunately it was pretty greyish weather, but ultimately better than trapseing around the streets of Amsterdam as I had been doing that very morning - which probably accounts for my high rating! Pretty deserted late afternoon at the end of winter time except for some friendly locals walking their Jack Russell. The trig point has obviously been adopted by the National Trust.

Have been walking up this mountain since a child and wanted to log this as my first trigpoint now that I've found trigpointing as well a geocaching.

We visited this trig point whilst doing Sweet Mountain (GCGQBN) geocache. It's a terrific place, though our heather bashing route is not to be recommended.

Sugar Loaf It's pretty busy up here. There must have been al least 30 people here when we visited.©SidAndBob

Had a 1:20 to get up and down from the eastern carpark. Made it, although legs hurt for 3 days. Stunning views across a snowy landscape. Nearly knocked over at the top with 60mph winds (nothing in the valley below!).

8 mile circular on this great hill, the trig was one of the best condition trigs I'd seen at the time, great little summit and views. Drove round to bag Blorenge trig later that day.

A pleasant evening stroll between meeting and hotel with the "England and Wales" cricket team regaining the ashes at the same time. Lots of routes up but opted for the no bikes (sulk) climb up from the NT car parking area to the south.

A great little summit entailing a fair walk in from most directions (and there seem to be a multitude of routes up here). I managed to get my bike pretty close coming up from the east. It was quiet until I met the hordes on the top. Poor visibility unfortunately. Back down through woods to south, which were extraordinarily gnarled, twisted and quite spooky, even in daylight.

I have been up to this Trig Point on many occasion - My latest visit was with Dave, Simon, Ben, Graham and Craig on a 'lads weekend'. As we climbed up Sugar Loaf we had a laugh as we watched a farmer in his Land Rover try and catch his runaway horse around the bottom of the slopes. I have previously been up Sugar Loaf (a.k.a "Sandra’s Nipple") in my early expedition days in the Scouts - wearing Doc Martins!

The latest of many visits to this wonderful little mountain. Brings back some good memories - I was taken up here by my parents when I was 6 (summer of 1988), which is what got me into walking.

Date and time is approximate. I know I walked up Sugar Loaf to the trig pillar at sometime during the Easter 1997 school holidays.

My first mountain was when I was 4 years old. The last visit was on 12 June 2023 but many times in between.
