I would recommend anger management lessons and a study of Buddhism for the both of them. They were quite intimidating but I reasoned with them, and we all realised it was a misunderstanding as I climbed over a gate and back onto the main road. It turns out that they were the charming farmer and his wife and that I was walking on "their land" (even though the gate stated it was a public footpath). I was enjoying my pleasant walk through the field when, suddenly, two idiots in tweed started shouting their heads off at me from their landrover: "Get out! Get off our land!" I was shocked and told the irate man and wife to calm down and stop shouting at me. Since I didn't feel safe walking along such a dangerous road, I decided to walk along the public footpath, which passed through some fields. Also, the road leading to the car park is narrow and single-laned, with quite a lot of traffic going back and fore, creating problems for drivers and pedestrians alike. The summit looked pretty, sprinkled with frost and the shroud of mist gave it an eerie yet tranquil feel.Īnd now for the negatives.The car park of the Sugar Loaf is not easy to find if you are walking from Abergavenny town centre as the roads or footpaths are not signposted.

The mountain itself is fairly easy to climb, but does get quite steep and jagged for the final 100 metres, so please take care. Seeing the sheep and horses in the field really added to the rural idyll. The Sugar Loaf is a beautiful and imposing mountain, the ascent of which allows spectacular views of Abergavenny and the surrounding mountains. I have been told that I am a positive person, so I will start with the positives.
