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.

 

At the start of the event, you will be issued with a "Check-in" card

which will be "marked" at each of the Checkpoints around the course.

 

At the finish line, hand in the completed "Check-in" card to complete

the challenge and be issued with your certificate.

 

Depending how fast you walk or how slow you plod it should take

between 10 and 18 hours to complete.

 

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!

 

 

Most of the participants doing the 30 miles and some on the 20 miler may

be completing the challenge throughout the night, thus giving some the

opportunity to experience some night time walking.

 

So don't forget your head torch.

 

The routes will be marked along the way so you should have minimal,

if any, map reading to do. However an "Explorer OL 12" map or

equivalent and compass must be carried and you should

know how to use them.

 

Each of the main checkpoints will have a Marshal to answer any

questions you may have.

And will be offering encouragement along the way.

 

There will also be places to retire from the walk should you wish to stop,

these will be clearly marked on the route card.

 

The full and details routes will be issued to the participants at registration

on the day of the event. The detailed routes will include grid references

 so you can mark  the checkpoints and waypoints on your map

if you wish and enter them

into your GPS if you have one.
