Walks of a Guided Variety

Last Sunday found Wildmen Will Dean and Jon Severs in a car park in Clytha, near Raglan.

No, we weren't doing anything untoward. It was the meeting place for the Brecon Beacons Park Society's Guided Walk. This is where a guide does all the map reading, worrying, and route finding for you. The trail of 20 or so people behind them are free to admire views, chat away, and lurch into the bushes for something called a "comfort break" - I think they meant a wee.

It was a very rewarding experience and the 12 miles left us feeling rather smug. So smug in fact that we rewarded ourselves with a pint.
