This walk is in the past.
Thanks to Andy S for submitting this walk last June which I wanted to do - unfortunately was unable to make this so have decided to organise myself.
This is part 2 of 8 of the iconic Beacons Way, which crosses some of the most stunning landscapes in Wales. We'll start at Llanthony Priory, crossing three of the four main ridges of the Black Mountains on our way westwards to the lovely village of Crickhowell via the hamlet of Partrishow. On the way, we'll visit Garn Wen cairn and the "Stone of Vengeance", said to mark the spot of the assassination of Richard de Clare in 1135.
PLEASE NOTE - If you wish to attend this walk, please message me and let me know whether or not you will be able to drive and offer lifts.
As this is a linear walk, extra time will be required to organise cars at the start and end points and will involve non drivers waiting some time before the walk can begin. Like with the most recent linear walks that Andy S organised, we will try to send a sufficient number of cars to the finish such that at the end (after a pub visit) everyone can get in cars and either go direct home or home via the start to collect other cars.
Please also let me know if you have any other questions.
Please bring good walking footwear and suitable clothing for the weather, also packed lunch, drink and a sit mat or something to sit on for lunch / breaks etc.
Bring packed lunch. Pub to finish.
