Somewhat Moorish, 22 miles, Saturday 15th June 2024,
Location
Meet/Start time : 09:00. At: Park at Crickhowell Sports Centre, New Road, Crickhowell., SO216185 (It is advisable to arrive 10 minutes before the meet/start time)
Description: Over to the Lonely Shepherd, and then a meandering walk across Llangattock and Llangynidr moors as far as the Chartist's Cave, linking some points of interest, legend and history as we wander across an empty land
Notes: Often faint, sometimes non-existent, paths, but generally ok walking apart from one impressive bit of bog we have to get through (serious splodge potential) and some tussocky goodness (four star for this). Maybe not for those who don't like off-path walking, but it isn't that bad. Exposed most of the day.

Meet/Start time : 09:20. At: Meet in Dinas Powys. Details to be provided once signed up.
Description: By popular demand, a linear walk from Brecon to sunny Dinas Powys. We train/bus to Brecon (cost approx. £11ish) and start midday. Hit the heights early at Pen y Fan and then a long descent to the coast, over various ridges and hills. One resupply point at about 19 miles in Merthyr Tydfil. Finish Sunday morning.
Notes: To join this you'll need to contact the walk leader to sign-up - convince him that you can do a 50 mile walk unsupported. Might not be easy to bail-out as trains don't run at night/ early Sunday.
