16th - 18th March 2007 -
This was a long weekend organised by the Internet based
walking club 40sWalkersNorth. 14 of us stayed at the Youth
Hostel at Libanus near Brecon for several days walking in the
Brecon Beacons. The plan was to complete some of the walks
from the Guidebook " The Mountains of England and Wales -
Volume 1 Wales by John and Anne Nuttall. Over the 3 days we
climbed 11 summits in varied weather conditions. A most
enjoyable weekend with excellent company |
