Trail Trekking Scotland

£299 in a 2 person room (£274 MatesRates)

£399 in a 1 person room (£374 MatesRates)

The Brecon Beacons in South Wales is beautiful and even more so at this time of year, as the colours change and the scenery becomes quite dramatic.

This trip is set to be a little bit of a challenge and is for those with fairly good fitness. (If you are unsure, get in touch and we can work out if this is really for you)

Friday night - we'll all meet up at The Castle Hotel in Merthyr Tydfil. Not as grand as it sounds - but its clean, the breakfasts are great and it's right in the centre of town. Perfect.

Saturday - we're doing the big one, The Four Peaks. It's a belter of a hike, but not for the feint-hearted. Taking in the summits of Fan-y-Big (no jokes LOLs), Cribyn, Pen-y-Fan and Corn Du, this walk will probably take about 7 hours and is pretty steep in places. In the evening we'll collapse back at the hotel... but for those who still have energy left we'll head out into the night to see Brecon's famous dark skies. (If we get enough interest we'll arrange a 'star gazing guide' at the nearby Libanus observatory, +£25)

Sunday - a slightly lazier start, but we are headed to BikePark Wales! This is the UK's premier mountain biking venue. And your HOFNAR price includes bike and safety equipment hire. It also includes an 'uplift pass'... so no uphill pedaling. The dream!!

Sunday lunch in a pub nearby and then if you still have some energy there is the option to head to Zipworld and take on the 70mph zipwire...

WHAT. A. WEEKEND.
