In 1854 the travelogue George Borrow visited Pumlumon Fawr.

Indeed he wrote in his book Wild Wales: “I question … whether there is a higher hill in the world!”

They will walk on exactly the same route as George took all those years ago.

The first section of the walk is rather steep then joins the Sir Chris Bonington trail that comes up from Eisteddfa Gurig.

After leaving the forest plantation on their left, they’ll see Pumlumon Fawr waiting for them in the distance.

2468ft is the height.

The walk starts from outside Y Talbot at 9am and returns to George Borrow Hotel afterwards for drinks and free cawl.

The walk is to last approximately five hours and is graded a Moderate walk which covers seven miles with an ascent of 1741ft/530m.
