Trig point atop Moel Bentyrch Early spring afternoon's romp up nearby Moel Bentyrch.  This little hill has beckoned us for some time now.  Looking north-east - the high point on the horizon is the Breiddens, to the left of that, and nearer is Allt-y-Main behind Meifod.  NB to walkers.  At the foot of this hill there runs a bridleway - north to the Banwy, around the Bentyrch massif and then anti-clockwise past Tan-y-Foel back to the A458.  IT IS DESPERATELY in need of walkers/horses to keep it open.
