A Tough Hike To The Most Remote Hill In Wales
Channel: The Wandering Forester
Date: 2024-03-15

The most remote hill top in mainland Wales is Tyle Garw  on Mynydd Du, the Black Mountain area of Bannau Brycheiniog/Brecon Beacons.  It's 468 metres high and 4.875 Kilometres from the nearest road.  Unfortunately there is no parking on that road so the nearest point of access of around 7-8K away.  With a very strong and bitter easterly wind blowing across the top and a lack of shelter I decided to camp just below the hill - so I have some unfinished with Tyle Garw!
