Walking Group

July 2019 Walk – Howey

Starting from the Old Parish Church near the Llandrindod Golf Course, we headed downhill across grassy tracks towards Howey (photo 1). Once in Howey we cut across the fields (photo 2) towards the Hundred House Road, startling a group of Canada Geese into flight as we approached (photo 3). At one point we encountered a stile leading into the garden of a farm. This caused much amusement from the group as everyone tried to cross the stile in style. Jackie concentrating hard (photo 4), then Chris with a forward leg movement (photo 5), followed by Llewelyn, who needed a little help from his friends (photo 6), Barbara, who showed great flair (photo 7), and finally Meg, the most stylish of all (photo 8). Leaving Howey, we entered a field which Julian told us contained an ancient earthwork enclosure (known as Caer Du) in one corner. We tracked across the field and climbed onto the embankment, before continuing our walk back up the hill. We encountered yet another stile on our way towards Pentrosfa Mire. Photo 9 shows Paul tackling the top bar, closely followed by Bill, while Julian cradles Tilly who had also needed some assistance (photo 10).

The final photo is an aerial photograph of the earthwork enclosure taken by Julian Ravest.
