19.8 KM

This is a longer walk to Sugar Loaf, starting in the outskirts of Abergavenny, heading along the valley to Llangenny before climbing to the summit of Sugar Loaf and returning through Deri Fach forest close to St Mary's Vale.

We had a lovley March day for this outing and not far into the walk we stumbed upon an collection of derelict cars in the forest which included an old Trabant and 1970s Skoda!
