|
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.
