Following a route that includes 'The Cat's Back', this circuit takes in the summits of Black Hill and Hay Bluff, before following the Offa's Dyke path. Final route was about 12 miles long, on a day of VERY poor visibility. My first walk in the Black Mountains.
I intend to repeat this one on a clear day, with a view to exploring more of the Black Mountains... With or without the cloud!
The original 8 mile route is available in the Walk West eBooks:

Music from YouTube's audio library:
'So Lost' - MK2
'Big Sky' - Silent Partner
