Route description
This route leaves Usk via Red Hill, also known as Usk Flood Route - a very quiet lane (unless Usk is flooded, perhaps). Mostly it follows the route of Uskche1, but sticks to lanes in some places to avoid disused rights of way across fields. It uses the lane SE of Cribau Mill and a footpath over the hill, joining the same lane and cutting out a loop. This route crosses a field (just north of the wind turbine) and skirts Stoneycroft Wood. Today the field was ploughed and dry, but it might be trickier if muddy or full of crops; you could stay on the lane and follow the loop instead.
