Route brief

Again we visit the Brecon Beacons, only this time the higher ground will provide an extra challenge. Arguably the toughest round of the series you will visit the highest peaks in Southern Britain all linked by classic mountain trail. The infamous ascent of Cribyn is quite possibly the ultimate preverbal sting in the tail. Plenty of hill training would be advised as your climbing legs will be tested to the full. Quite a bit of the course takes place on land over 600 metres in height providing views on a clear day which are simply stunning. As always safety is paramount and with that in mind we will be very strict with the compulsory equipment list. Event HQ is again the Outdoor Recreation Center which provides a fantastic event center and optional accommodation. The White Hart, a two minute walk down the road provides good food and a great pint – a welcome relief after running around the Brecon Beacons all day.

Accommodation
