The Black Mountains (Welsh: Y Mynyddoedd Duon) are a group of hills spread across parts of Powys and Monmouthshire in southeast Wales, and extending across the national border into Herefordshire, England. They are the easternmost of the four ranges of hills that comprise the Brecon Beacons National Park, and are frequently confused with the westernmost, which is known as the Black Mountain. To confuse matters further, there is a peak in the Black Mountains called Black Mountain.
Three days leading groups on NCS scheme. Extremely hot weather - 31 on last day! Absolutely hoofing and much care needed on participants for energy levels, hydration, overall well being. Cut short second day to help group members who were struggling. One member also had sickle cell syndrome, so extra focus still on Tre. First time work g with groups like this so a big learn g curve for me.
