Accommodation
Our accommodation for the weekend is the stunning YHA Brecon Beacons, in a cosy 19th Century farmhouse, with access to some of the best walking routes in Wales. From the moment you step through the front door you are greeted by breathtaking views towards Pen y Fan – the highest mountain peak in South Wales.
After a long day hiking, we can head back to our accommodation and plonk ourselves in front of the hostel’s roaring fire and enjoy a tasty home-cooked meal.
Our accommodation for the trip will be in 4-bed and 6-bed dorms, exclusive to our group. If you’re booking with a friend let us know and we’ll make sure you get a room together.
NOTE: There is limited car parking at this hostel, and is first come first served.
Food
Our meals for the weekend will be prepared on-site at YHA, for breakfast and dinner. Saturday lunch is not included, as we will be out all day, so please bring something to eat for Saturday lunch, such as a packed lunch.
