Cwm-yr-Ingel Beacon Hill moorland, looking over Cwm-yr-Ingel towards Teme Valley hills which now have improved land. Much of Radnorshire and Shropshire's moorland has gone, replaced by grassland. However here and there, soil fertility is dropping in the new fields, and heather is returning.

Frosty fields Thick frost for a morning walk up the bridleway from Pantycaragle towards Cwmyringel. The boggy, rushy low ground appears to be the remnant of a sunken lane, now largely impassible.

Track to Pantycaragle A farm track follows the bridleway up the hill from the farm. It is likely that the original track passed between the double line of Hawthorn trees on the right, which is an old hedgerow.

Distant sunlight Beyond the bog and the stream running beneath the gate, the path climbs again, away from the wooded dingle ascending from Bryndraenog. Sunlight played on the rounded hilltops nearby, but didn't reach us.
