That number is slightly down on last year (39), which comes as little surprise, as there was an overlapping Greece trip on, attended by 16 I hear, and only 2 of those made it to Brecon as well agt some point. 20 minutes of rain (on Friday afternoon). Attendances on the 4 recce walks: 13/3/2/2. Some fascinating new walks are in prospect from those 4 days. <br />Thanks to everyone for coming along.

There were walk options catering for all tastes, so we all got to see the beautiful countryside. All the logistics went smoothly due to the meticulous planning and attention to detail for which Thomas is well-known (despite Network Rail doing its upmost to throw a spanner in the works with engineering works/electricification/bus replacements and all round bank holiday travel hideousness etc). The ascents were something to endure in the heat but so worth it in the end for the fabulous views. The company was interesting, stimulating, friendly and convivial - what more could you ask.
