I've done Sugarloaf. 1st October 2005 :o
Sweet Mountain

down!)

breathtaking 360 degree views of the area - and further horizons
- remember to take your binos with you!
> Parked at the Fforest parking spot and it took over an hour to
get to the top, stopping to shelter from heavy showers on the
way with the compensation of some astounding rainbows to admire
afterwards...

The cache I did is archived, there's a trig (which is a YOSM)
and a couple of newer caches.
To date, it's my highest cache...

Nice photos :)
So would Sugarloaf be your preferred choice WT and B&R?

Sugarloaf has several good points:
It's not that steep
The route from the top car park is about 2 miles only
Great views
Cachers could nip to Wales First Cache
Obvious meeting spot
One negative, is parking can be an issue especially weekend or
bank holiday. It depends how far you are prepared to walk, as
parking on the edge of Abergavenny is OK but adds about a mile
(one way), some of which will involve walking on country lanes.

Sugarloaf is sounding like the preferred choice :) I think the
advantages of it override the disadvantages...
I'd be happy with going for Sugarloaf; do we think it's best to
leave Pen y fan then?

Bump :D
Thinking about this again - have decided that it should be
Sugarloaf, as long as others are still interested as per
previous posts :)
Date, I think early August - although this is Mega period.
Could, in theory, do it during July but my dad is away until the
27th, and we have family staying until 31st July so probably
couldn't be before then, unless they'd like to come, which could
be possible ;) - it's probably be 3/4 of a days worth anyway,
including travel time.
Open to suggestions about the date/is there still interest?

very late Aug

I am still up for Sugarloaf, however I am fatter and unhealthier
than ever after 6 months or work, work, work. So you will have
to go easy on me.
I am available just about the whole of August apart from the 1st
weekend
