Guided Hiking Trip Useful Information

With the Brecon Beacons waterfall area being popular, its paths can become very crowded indeed. However, the path we will take for most of the day only ever has a handful of walkers, and midweek we'll have much of the hike to ourselves!

During the months of May to September, there is a cafe halfway round, but do not depend on this for sustenance unless advised by us to do so. It's a pop-up and so is often closed due to weather conditions, so we always advise taking a good packed lunch along with a flask of something warm.

Know before you go:

• We may be able to provide transport for Wales tours starting from Cardiff and other South Wales locations for this walk. Please inquire about options and costs.

• This guided hiking tour will take place rain or shine

• You will climb 400m, but this is gently done

• Andy may bring his dog with him. Britain is generally known as a nation of dog lovers, you might meet owners walking on and off lead dogs in the countryside.

• Although most levels of fitness can be accommodated, please be sensible when booking and know your own ability

Please Note

A good level of fitness is required for all of our mountain walks. If walking with us, please know that the weather can change, and at times we do need to keep moving, especially in winter, to remain warm and safe.
