This walk is part of the Brecon Beacons Park Society walking programme. The objectives of the Society, as stated in the Constitution are:
"to advance the enhancement, protection and conservation of the countryside and other amenities of the Brecon Beacons National Park for the benefit
of the public," and, "to advance the education of the public in the ways in which to achieve the above including the provision of opportunities for
healthy recreation and in particular walking."
Most of our walks go into the hills. Participants are reminded that the following gear must be taken:
walking boots, rucksack, hat, gloves, warm clothing (not jeans!), spare sweater, water and a hot drink, lunch, extra food and of course, waterproof
jacket and trousers. A whistle and torch should be carried, particularly during the winter months. Participants must satisfy themselves that the walk
is suitable for their abilities. You can take advice, by ringing the walks leader whose telephone number is given. No liability will be accepted for
loss or injury that occurs as a result of taking part. An adult must accompany young people (under18).
Most of the Park Society's guided walks are for experienced walkers but leaders may change or cancel the advertised route due to adverse weather
conditions
Non members of the Park Society will be asked to make a donation of £3.00 each per walk. Half price for the under 16's, the unemployed and
students.
