By: Blonde One
This week I was lucky enough to have gone to a new place with some new people and I was very excited (in a very Blonde way)! I have been to the Brecon Beacons before but this week saw Blonde One, jelly babies and kids in a new part of The Beacons (I used to call them ‘The Brecons’ but have been reliably informed by a local that I should refer to them as The Beacons). It was out of my comfort zone as I’m not the expert in the area and I was as much a novice as the youngsters! I spent hours studying the maps (a very Two Blonde’s type hobby), doing internet research (not a very Blonde One type hobby) and generally getting myself ready. Although I was excited about the trip, I was also slightly nervous about the terrain! Those contour lines were VERY close together.
It’s surely a good sign that the preparation for an expedition is equally as good as the trip itself isn’t it?
Details to follow in the next blog…
I visited the “Beacons” (oops I always call them the Brecons too!!) when I was younger and remember them with fondness. I think this is helped by the memories of a lovely campsite with a couple of nice lads sis and I hung around with and lots of sunshine! I’m really annoyed because I’ve no idea where we were or where we walked – I’m usually very good at remembering place names – must’ve been the distraction of the boys!!!! I have even spent hours gazing at the Brecon Beacons map to see if a name rings a bell, but no!
We are hoping to return there soon – knee depending – and have even invested in the 1:25000 memory map so we can route plan in the 21st century – still prefer the paper map personally!!! Hopefully you will discover some excellent walks and maybe share one or two?!!!!!
Have a great time – sure you will with that bunch

Paphos Car Hire, with its entry in the EU. Christofias was widely believed to have been Aphrodite’s, the Godess of Love’s, birthplace, and once appropriate altitude is achieved, the power or” Throttle” is
reduced to normal cruising speed. Name of the CompanyThe company name has to be fun and attract attention of other members,
which surely makes the event unforgettable.
Soft top jeeps are indeed perfect for short trips,
