In October the walk was led by Pat Borland, starting from Builth. The group set off in the mist up Hospital Road past the primary school, on a lane that eventually joined the road towards Maesmynis. It was at this juncture that they were met by a lake in the road – just when we they hoping to have done with the risk of getting water inside their boots!

Continuing towards Maesmynis they passed a herd of cattle which had turned the field into a quagmire.

As they climbed higher so the mist thinned and eventually they were under blue skies looking down on the valleys with their rivers of mist.

Soon afterwards they emerged from the mist, looking east towards the Epynt

They then followed the road past St David’s church in Maesmynis. St David’s Maesmynis is in the clump of trees left of centre of photo with the Irfon Valley beyond. Bill’s dog Tilly is to the left of the photo.

Continuing down the hill down the hill they walked through Caer Beris Holiday Park, crossing the foot bridge over the Irfon, through the Caer Beris Hotel garden to Garth Road, then back across the Irfon towards the centre of Builth and on to the start of the walk.
