| The tumulus with trig is the high point! From Black Mixen, along edge of forest and then by edge of fence. Over supposed high point in the heather on the way to the trig. Nice little hill. With Jill. | Dangerous Dave | 07/02/2024 |
| Parked in the car park by the school in New Radnor, as it was the school holidays. Knowle Hill, Whimble, Bache Hill (lots of ripe bilberries), Black Mixen, Great Rhos, Nyth-grug, Mynd and The Smatcher. Warm but overcast with a breeze on top. With Gillian | richard69 | 07/08/2023 |

| Upper car park (400m start!) - Whimble - Bache Hill - Great Mixen - Great Rhos - returned past Black Mixen and down Ystol Bach Brook. | Mark Jackson | 27/10/2022 |
| Climbed whimble before this from path on left of forest, best top of the day | chris.brockwell | 13/10/2022 |
| Third top on a 15 mile walk from New Radnor to Kington. Headed straight along the edge of the forestry from Great Mixen, following a rather narrow and boggy path. Bache Hill is my favourite hill on this range, the views south are sublime and the Bronze Age barrows are really fine. Descent along the east ridge, as per each of my previous trips, then on to Four Stones. | thesweetcheat | 08/10/2022 |
| Anti clockwise circuit to Great Rhos, back seized up increasingly and nearly couldn't get over ladder stile near summit. Grand day. | Nick Canute | 02/09/2022 |
| From Black Mixen along track/path. Once on the summit area, follow W fence to ridge and use the track. Visited the trig also, which seems to be a picnic spot for the local birds of prey. Fantastic vistas from this isolated group of 3 simms. Solo | RoguePulsar | 15/08/2022 |
| From New Radnor up Mutton Dingle, return over Black Mixen and down around the edge of the Danger Area. | sebastiencale | 08/06/2022 |
| With Cheryl. | MGT67 | 17/04/2022 |
| Gorgeous sunny day, with a cold northerly wind. Plenty of parking in New Radnor with cute green tunnel paths up to the tops. | andrewroberts | 09/04/2022 |
| Discovered a marzipan bar in my rucksack - a Christmas present I'd forgotten all about. Yum yum. | Wycombe Wanderer | 17/01/2022 |
| A very pleasant clockwise circuit of Great Rhos, Black Mixen and Bache Hill from New Radnor.Up Lane from Haine's Mill, round the three tops to finish down th Lane into the Centre of New Radnor. Good all th way except for a short stretch of dep heather from the gate at the end of the track before great Rhos. Path down through the woods near the end rather overgrown at this time of year but not a problem. | dickscroop | 23/09/2021 |

| Started from New Radnor with a loopback around the Whimble. | ushills | 15/08/2021 |
| Parked at the forestry carpark at the end of Mutton Dingle and climbed Whimble, Bache Hill, Great Creigiau, Black Mixen and Great Rhos, before coming back around the top of the valley over Black Mixen again.Gorgeous, clear blue skies and great views from the top. | SootAndShale | 25/04/2021 |
| 3/8 A splendid round trip of the Great Rhos to bag 3 Deweys. From New Radnor up bridleway, with quick hop over the fence (SO 214 619) and up the field to Knowle Hill, back down and up FP through wood to barns, then direct up to the Whimble (splendid summit), back down and revisited Bache Hill and the transmitter at Black Mixen, visiting the deleted Nuttall, Great Creigau, en route. Then a significant descent to bag my second Dewey, Fron-wen (disappointing - just a rise in a forest road) and on to revisit Marilyn Great Rhos, before a long trek over wild moors to my final Dewey, Nyth-grug, and a lengthy road walk back to New Radnor. All in all a great walk with good views. 25km with 900m ascent in 7 hours. (S) | silveracorn_alan | 24/07/2020 |

| Towards the end of the sunny Easter Saturday walk from Llandegley over Great Rhos and Black Mixen. Bache Hill boasts probably the best of the many Bronze Age round barrows in these mountains. A hazy day for the views, but didn't see a soul up here. Dropped down to New Radnor for the bus back to Hereford. | thesweetcheat | 20/04/2019 |
| Parked in New Radnor, followed route clockwise around Danger Zone to take in Great Rhos, Black Mixen and Bache Hill. Blustery and clear. | andrew.morel | 15/04/2019 |

| From New Radnor Village SO 21280 60809, via Whimble,then onto Black Mixen and Great Rhos, as Nuttalls 11.4 | Westdenewalker | 10/10/2017 |
| Parked up in the village and walked up Whimble first, then Bach Hill, Black Mixen and Great Rhos. Down into Harley Dingle then footpaths back to the village. Mainly following the Nuttall walk. | Neolith | 28/08/2017 |
| Knowle Hill - Whimble - Bache Hill - Great Creigiau - Black Mixen - Great Rhos. Basically the Nuttalls route with occasional diversions to take in the three bonus summits. Mainly cloudy and breezy but dry. | Herbert Anchovy | 29/07/2017 |
| With Shaky & Smithy from New Radnor. Parked in the village & took the steep minor road NW up to the forest at the top, following the track & then a very overgrown path to E of Whimble rejoining the track. Followed the fence N & then climbed over the gate to follow the fencelines to the tumulus on Bache Hill. Returned to path & then slanted NW along the edge of Black Mixen detouring to take in the summit. A fine walk round head of the valley to Great Rhos on dryish ground & then followed track at edge of danger area all the way down to Harley Dingle & round side of the hill back to New Radnor. A couple showers but great views & a great walk out. | NotReallyABagger | 23/07/2017 |
| A fine circuit with 5 trigs, on a perfect sunny day. Beginning to be converted to TuMPing by Alex and co, and regaining proficiency in climbing barbed wire fences. From New Radnor, over the superb Whimble, Bache Hill, direct to Black Mixen (noooo - follow the track), edge of forest and peaty tracks to Great Rhos, then seduced away from the indistinct correct line to the forestry by Nuttall baggers track, but correct line regained off piste. Through forest, then up to Nyth Grug, Mynd, Black Brook track to A44, direttissima towards Molecatchers Wood, Castle Hill, and The Smatcher. | Gill | 26/03/2017 |
