 Hi Guys,

 Its the 3rd year I am taking

 part and every year it has

 been a phenomenal experience

 and the quality and organisation

 has been remarkable.

 I came with my friend who is

 doing it the 4th year.
 Once again Thanks and would

 like to join you next year.
                                            Kind Regards
                                            Senthil Kumar

 

 Hi,

 Just completed the 20 mile

 event and as with last year

  it was superbly organised

  and very well marshalled.

 The route this year was much

  tougher and even more

  stunning than last years.
 I would like to register for

 next year and thank you very

 much for laying on such a

 great event.
                                           Kind Regards
                                           Matt Walker


 Good morning,

 the new route was absolutely

  brilliant!

                                           Kind regards.
                                          Gary N Davies

Walking Events

 

Taking place on the

Saturday 14th September 2013

The event will once again take place in the

BRECON BEACONS

Wales

 

30 or 20 Miles (approx.)


WALK, JOG or RUN

 

Enter as an INDIVIDUAL, PAIR or TEAM


 

The routes will take in the highest summit in the area "Pen-y-Fan" (886m) and

 include some spectacular ridgeline walking as well as walking through forestry plantations and alongside some picturesque reservoirs and waterfalls.

 

 

      The routes will also take in some of the less trodden areas of the region giving

      you the opportunity to see the National Park as perhaps you have not seen it

      before. The Brecon Beacons have been used by the British Army as a training

      area and is where they have put their elite forces to the test. Do not panic we

      won't be making you black out your face or carry a pack the size of a house

      and a rifle!

 

      You can enter as an individual, as a pair or walk as a team. Depending how

      fast you walk or how slow you plod it should take between 10 and 18 hours

      to complete.

 

      At the start of the event a PARTICIPANT NUMBER TAG will be attached

      to your rucksack. You should show this TAG at each checkpoint around the

      course. Once you arrive back at the finish, hand in your TAG to complete the

      challenge and be issued with your MTC certificate.

 

      NOTE:- If your TAG is not handed in, Mountain Rescue will be called out

      to find you!

 

      A step by step route description will be issued to you at registration on the

      day of the event and the route will also be marked along the way.

 

      Medical/Safety cover will be provided by the Central Beacon Mountain

      Rescue team.

 


 

 

 

This is NOT A RACE  the event is simply:-

 

To challenge yourself!

 

To walk the checkpoints within the allotted time

 

To complete the course

 

To take in the spectacular views

 

To feel the highs and the lows of long distance walking.

 

And

 

To have FUN!
