TheTumulus is above 2000', but the underlying hill is much lower. Batche Hill is not a 2000er,

The summit, Great Rhos.

Returning to Cascob, looking east towards Presteigne

On this day I actualy met someone on the Radnor Forest. A Stourbridge school were doing Dof E training up there.Its a modest quiet range, famed for its surrounding countryside more than for its heights.

The purpose of the visit, other than yet another trip to my local hills was to see if Bache Hill was over 2000'. The height on the OS maps refers to the trig point which is on the tumulus. If cairns don't count, which they don't on my list, then Bache joins the Forest's most famous top, Whimble Tout ,as just below 2000'.

I did a horseshoe from Cascob rather than the usual New Radnor approach.
