In the event of adverse weather conditions, the Brecon Mountain Rescue Team at their sole discretion will decide on safety grounds whether the event can take place, and the organisers accept no liability in respect of any parties’ losses or expenses in the event the walk is subsequently amended or cancelled. Where possible, we will endeavour to publish any available udpates prior to the walk on this website.

Stick to obvious, walked paths on the mountains. Do not cross heathland etc, since much of it is a protected, fragile environment
