I have a target of climbing all the Welsh Hewitts, the 2000ft mountains with a relative height of at least 30m/98ft. I got a head start while young, but then did little for a quarter-century.
My cross-Wales walk bulked up the numbers; a few other trips helped; and then in 2021 I made a conscious decision to get on with things. With a fair wind, co-operative body and absence of lockdowns, I should complete the list in 2022.
Importantly, all the larger (and harder – size isn’t everything, as you will see when I get round to writing up the Rhinogs) hills are safely in the bag. By height, the biggest remaining is Cadair Berwyn, 2723ft, and it might be where I choose to finish.
My notes aren’t complete but I have a much better memory for hills than faces and can reconstruct the routes I took even where many years have passed. I’ve divided them into six broad sections, working from the north of the country southwards, as follows. Grey links aren’t ready yet, and some of the orange links are still partial, but there’s plenty of content waiting behind the scenes.
