Walking
The hostel is immediately below Waun Fach the highest of the Black Mountains and there are mountain walks in all directions with several high level routes routes possible from the bunkhouse including the ascents of Hay Bluff and Lord Hereford's Knob (yes, this is a mountain!). Valley walks along both the River Wye and the River Usk are about 5 miles away in opposite directions. Walks will be led by CLOG volunteer leaders as usual.
Clogactive Activities
The following events are available to book for Saturday 17th October. They are led by local professionals and are subject to weather and other circumstances that might arise. Places are limited (but if numbers previously wanting places are borne out this should not be a problem. All places must be pre-booked when booking.
This weekend has been designated the Clogactive event for October . This means I can offer the activities at prices (for CLOG members only) below those previously indicated - in accord with the agreed Clogactive policy.
Horse-riding

Canoeing
This is a canoeing trip on the River Wye covering about 10..5 miles downstream at a cost of £20 in kayaks. Please send me an email if you are interested.Please bear in mind that the event is in October and the water may be colder than now (if you fall in)
Caving
There are a number of caves in the Brecons which are accessible by small groups of people led by experts. This involves wearing specialist equipment and may involve , climbing, wriggling on your tummy and squeezing through narrow gaps in the dark (head torches are provided It is lots of fun, but these are definitely not show caves. (min 4 people cost £30 per day)
