We take a minibus to Abergavenny then walk steadily up Sugar Loaf via Llwyn Du and an old quarry path. We pause in full darkness at the top of Sugar Loaf then walk down the western ridge passing Pengilfach farm and Ty Canol, then on down to the Grwyne Fawr river. We follow the river to Llangenny Bridge and Millbrook Bridge before taking the path through Rheld Wood to reach the main road and River Usk beyond. We walk beside the river and up Bridge Street to the centre of Crickhowell. A waning crescent moon won't help us so a head torch and warm clothes are essential
