This is a walking weekend staying at an independent hostel below the highest mountain in the Black Mountains Waun Fach (810 metres (2700ft) We will be walking up the mountains (weather permitting) and elsewhere in the Brecon Beacons.
Accommodation is in dormitory bunks and we will be providing communal meals for breakfast and a packed lunch. The evening meal on Friday and Saturday will be in the Dragons Back Pub 10 minutes walk away (mains from £8.95, real ales etc) This is rough country and you will need boots and mountain clothing. The hostel has a dedicated drying room as well as a lounge kitchen and 6 showers.
Transport.
Please note we do not have private transport available so unless you drive your own car you will need to travel by train. Several people are leaving on the 10.15a.m and 10 45am trains from Paddington to South Wales changing at Newport for Abergavenny and going on to Crickhowell by bus. It is also possible to travel by the 19.15 train on Friday evening. We will try to arrange transport from Crickhowell to the hostel (8 miles) but this cannot be guaranteed
