Lest We Forget

We will be leading walks to visit the sites of crashed aircraft within the National Park, in recognition of Holocaust Memorial Day, Commonwealth Day, Armed Forces Day, United Nations Day, Armistice Day, and the anniversary of one of the crashes. The walks vary in difficulty from bracing to energetic, and all the profits from these walks will be donated to the Brecon RAF Association Battle of Britain Wings Appeal.

EVENING WALKS We specialise in guided walks and navigation courses

Our evening walks offer you a wonderful opportunity to discover the countryside at night. Starting just before dusk, you will walk through the twilight and on into the night. Scheduled to coincide with two specific phases of the moon (full and new), our Moonlighting and Stargazing walks will alter your perspective by giving you a totally different view of the landscape. Although the precise choice of route will depend upon the time of year and the prevailing weather, none of these walks are feats of endurance (usually graded gentle to bracing), and we usually finish at a local inn (in time for last orders!). The descriptions below assume reasonably clear skies and fair weather - sadly, however, we cannot guarantee these conditions!

Moonlighting

Walk into the evening, watch the sunset from a stunning vantage point, and then experience the countryside as you have never seen it before, bathed in the surreal silver light of a full moon.

Stargazing

Experience the glorious night sky during the darkness of a new moon. Discover astonishing starscapes and silhouetted landscapes as we walk away from light pollution and into the still of evening.

Haunted Hills

A Haloween Hike to a hauntingly strange spot! (Chillingly bracing!)

TWO DAY MINI-BREAKSWe specialise in guided walks and navigation courses

Our 2-day mini-breaks offer wonderful Welsh walking in quiet, unspoilt surroundings, far removed from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Mother's Weekend

A great break for busy mums! Escape to the hills for a weekend of active relaxation. If you want to make it extra-special, why not stay at one of our recommended hotels? We can arrange spa treatments if required.

Father's Weekend

Not to be left out, here's a great break for busy dads! Get away from it all for a weekend of walking and relaxing. Better still, stay at one of our recommended hotels where you can rough it in comfort.

Summer Solstice Sojourn

Starting after lunch on day one, we will walk into the twilight, and will then spend the night at an ancient site, high above the valley, in order to watch the sun rise over the Welsh Hills on Midsummer's Day. The morning descent will be made in time to enjoy a good Welsh Breakfast at a local hotel (included in price).

Not-the-Olympics Weekend

For those of you who are less than enthusiastic about sport, this summer promises to be somewhat tedious! This mini-break takes place over the opening weekend of the London olympics, and we promise not to talk about sport!
