Out on trail
Red Kite Trail - 6 days
Begwns
Starting from FreeRein HQ you head northwards over the Begwns to Painscastle then east travelling the old drover trails and open hillside to stay at either the Great House or Bryngwyn.
To New Radnor
The ride to the Bache from Pendre Barns could take you across the moors to either the Forest Inn or Red Lion for lunch (check opening times with FreeRein) - but this would mean an early start. Say 10a.m. at the lastest. Otherwise bring packed lunches and ride via Glascwm Hill and Black Yat to New Radnor. You would then have the choice of trotting up the lane to the Bache or taking the track which climbs up through the woods before comming down into the Bache.
Beacon Hill
The day from Bache to Belmont Cottage in the Teme Valley ends with fine open hill and a birds eye view of the Terme Valley as you descend steeply from the Gwernygrufryg Ridge. It is a day for those who would enjoy finding their way along quaint old byeways and green lanes - ideal practise for riders who may be thinking ahead to embarking on a Trans Cambrian Trail. From Belmont Cottages your trail takes you Bleddfa for Lunch before following the old drovers roads over to Penybont and a night at the Severn Arms.
Return
From the Severn Arms you have a long day returning all the way back to Pendre Barns Painscastle, lots of open hill with the possibility of stopping at the Fforest Inn for lunch. Then back to FreeRein HQ for tea and cake - Well done!.
