Bwlch With Altitude is a popular walking challenge held annually in Llangorse & Bwlch since 2009.
Teams take part in this event by finding their own way round a marked route using a map provided. Whilst navigating the route, your team will have a quiz sheet to fill in, digital checkpoints to collect, photographs to take and marshals to say hello to!
The route follows the peaks (that’s the “altitude” bit!) between Bwlch and Llangorse, all providing a different perspective of the amazing views we have of the Brecon Beacons and the Black Mountains. The hills range in height from 393 to 508 metres, with the start point in Bwlch at 200m and the lowest point of the day at Llangorse Lake at 160m.
A circular walk around the 3 peaks overlooking Cardiff, starting and finishing in Tongwynlais. This walk will take you up The Garth, Caerphilly Mountain and Craig yr Allt. This is approximately 13 miles or 21 kilometres and involves 750m of ascent (or 2,500 feet), mostly off road. It will be a challenge, even for experienced walkers and will involve rough mountain paths on open fell, forested valleys and crossing working farmland. During this tour of some of South Wales’ most beautiful scenery, the route will take you past historic landmarks, past the site of a coal mining disaster, over steep hills and across babbling streams. You will pass the 3 bears cave and we will even throw in a fairy castle for you to admire!
The purpose (apart from having a good time) is to raise funds for Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team. They are the team who cover the central area of Bannau Brycheiniog down to Cardiff and Newport and the central South Wales Valleys. They are entirely funded by voluntary donations and all team members give their time for free. They work with the police, the ambulance service and the coastguard to search for and rescue people endangered by accidents or natural hazards in difficult terrain and inhospitable environments. Running the team costs tens of thousands of pounds a year and we need to raise this sum every year to keep helping people.

Park Farm Llangattock is once again the perfect starting point for this – the third in our Beast series. Leaving the field you head via a small but steep lane which leads onto a small section of the Brecon and Monmouthshire canal. Minutes later you will be on the trail through fields and ancient walkways, before climbing to the top of the Llangattock Escarpment. Views here are out of this world! the climb will be worth it that we promise.

The Loop Ultra 32 Mile trail event is a great challenge amongst some spectacular, harsh but stimulating trails within the remote and less explored Cambrian Mountains of Mid Wales. Attracting runners from the elite to the ultra beginner, you will not be disappointed.
Starting at Camp Plas, a nature retreat near the village of Dolanog (near Welshpool) deep in the heart of the Cambrian mountains. The Loop will take in trails, forest tracks, ancient paths, en route to stunning Lake Vrynwy, often skirting the Glyndwr Way, you will be immersed in outstanding views across to the Shropshire Hills and southern Snowdonia. Red kites will be your companions besides an abundance of wildlife, and as the end of summer becomes autumn, the colours will be spectacular
