Mountain Days in Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon)


Make the most of the longest days in the Brecon Beacons!
20–22 June 2025 | 2 Days | Fully Guided

2 days of mountain hiking, pub food, and good company on the longest days of the year - just a few hours from London.

Escape the city and spend a weekend exploring wild Welsh hills with a small group, guided by a qualified Mountain Leader. We’ll hike the best trails in the Brecon Beacons, stay in shared group accommodation, and eat well at a local pub.

Why Join This Trip?

Because London is exhausting.
This is your chance to swap traffic for trails, stress for summits, and spreadsheets for fresh mountain air.

You’ll join a small group for two days of mountain hiking in the heart of the Brecon Beacons. It’s a friendly, no-pressure adventure: real hills, real food, and no faff.

What’s Included

✅ Two days of guided mountain hiking with a qualified Mountain Leader
✅ Two nights in group accommodation (shared rooms) at Dinas Castle Inn
✅ Dinner on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday

✅ Planning, logistics, and full support from your trip leader
✅ Help coordinating car shares from London

✅ For the keen runners, there might also be an opportunity for a Sunday morning run before we take to the mountains

✅ Chance to learn new outdoor skills under the supervision of an expert guide
