It’s Not Everest Walk

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the first female ascent of Mount Everest, join Everest summiteers Jo Bradshaw, Tori James (first Welsh woman) and Rebecca Stephens (first British woman), alongside adventurer researcher Jenny Hall and historian Kate Nicholson on a slightly less challenging walk.

From Hay we’ll climb to atmospheric Mouse Castle Wood, home to ancient oaks and site of an unfinished motte-and-bailey earthwork, consisting of a rock boss with an artificially scarped vertical side. The castle was held by the de Clanowe family in the 14th century. We’ll return across undulating fields to Hay.
