Hiking in Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon)


Join Us for an Unforgettable Adventure in the Brecon Beacons!

Are you ready to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of the Brecon Beacons? Our inaugural Jove Club weekend event promises an exhilarating blend of adventure, camaraderie, and natural splendor.

Date: 28 - 30th March 2025
Location: Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales

Event Details and Highlights:

Hiking and Exploration:
Discover the stunning landscapes of the Brecon Beacons as we hike some of the most scenic routes in the park. From panoramic views atop Pen y Fan, the highest peak in South Wales, to the serene beauty of hidden valleys and cascading waterfalls, this adventure will leave you in awe.

Guided Routes:
Your experienced guide will lead you through well-planned routes tailored to various fitness levels, ensuring everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or a beginner, this trip will work for you. We’ll never be able to guarantee routes ahead of time as it’s always weather dependent, but expect long and arduous days with a lot of elevation.

Genuine Connections:
The best aspect of any trip is the opportunity to develop connections with fellow Jove members!
