Brecon Beacons, S. Wales
The heart of the ever popular Brecon Beacons is the venue for this event which is scheduled for the late May bank holiday weekend. So participants may wish to stay on afterwards to explore more of this magnificent area of the country.
It's a favourite area with spectacular views, great terrain and easy accessability. Kayaking is on the Monmouth & Brecon canal.
