Brecon Beacons: The Neuadd Reservoir Walk - Sat 5th Feb

On Saturday (a change from the usual Sunday!) we'll follow a route around the Neuadd valley and reservoir. This walk will include high ridges, the highest mountain in southern Britain (Pen y Fan) and other peaks - Corn du and Cribyn.

The walk is rated at moderate-to-strenuous as there are a couple of steep climbs and some difficult-ish terrain. The elevated and exposed positions on this route mean that people should come prepared with plenty of layers, hat/gloves, good boots, and decent waterproofs. It's worth a bit of a slog though for the dramatic views and atmosphere!

Difficulty: Moderate to Strenuous

Distance: 7.5 Miles

Ascent: 850 Metres

Meeting Points: County Hall at 0930, or the start point at the pumphouse near Neuadd reservoir at 1030.

Contact: Doug - 07766652837 (please call if you plan to meet at the start point).

See you soon.

Cheers,
