Description

Day out with Debs and friend Leigh. Helping Leigh practise his navigation skills in poor vis in prep for ML, and also supporting Debs in her progress for HML.
Passed on soft skills to both of them - geology and history of the Beacons, in particular the Neuadd horseshoe route area we were walking.
Also some current knowledge on the reservoir restoration / construction works taking place.
Ensured Debs was using her equipment and taking notes on how her clothing / kit was working for her.
Leigh has never used a group shelter before so when we stopped for lunch he enjoyed some respite from the wind

Area : Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park

Bannau Brycheiniog (the Brecon Beacons) is a mountain range in South Wales. In a narrow sense, the name refers to the range of Old Red Sandstone peaks popular with walkers which lie to the south of Brecon. Sometimes referred to as "the central Beacons" they include South Wales' highest mountain, Pen y Fan. The range forms the central section of the Brecon Beacons National Park (Parc Cenedlaethol Bannau Brycheiniog), a designation which also encompasses ranges both to the east and the west of "the central Beacons". This much wider area is also commonly referred to as "the Brecon Beacons".
