We Do Outdoors

Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park is a stunning landscape of beautiful hills, waterfalls and gorges with amazing walks and other activities.

Our location at YHA Brecon Beacons Danywenallt, within walking distance of Pen y Fan, the highest peak in Southern Britain at YHA Brecon Beacons Danywenallt is perfectly situated to make the most of our stay. The whole panorama of the national park is right on our doorstep including Cribyn and Pen y Big, the Usk Valley Cycle and Walking Route and the Taff Trail along the Monmouth and Brecon Canal.

With so much to do we have added an optional extra day for just £20 which then includes dinner on the Thursday night and Friday breakfast, lunch packup and optional extra Thursday walk.

There are loads of walks to choose from with of course a 30k challenge walk for those who must, but plenty of easier options as well for those who just want to chill and absorb the fantastic scenery and historic connections.

Arrival at our accommodation is from anytime after 5pm on Thursday but we will lay on bonus walks on Thursday and Friday to ensure we make the best of those extra days.

We shall be rustling up a delicious hot meals from Thursday with vegetarian option so no need to eat on the way and although we'll serve up about 8pm, there'll be plenty kept for those arriving a little later. If you require a bevy or three don't forget to bring this with you as it may be a long way to the offy!

Help yourself breakfasts and lunch packups are provided Friday and Saturdays and Sunday as is hot food Thursday, Friday and Saturday, but feel free to bring desserts, cakes and other goodies to share as well as your own drinks. Tea and coffee will be provided.

Routes and options will be discussed with everyone on arrival to ensure we are meeting overall expectations but there is loads to choose from.

THIS EVENT IS FULL - WAIT LISTING ONLY

Only a small venue so this one filled the instant we put it out on preview.

Owned by the National Trust so slightly different ways of working to the YHA but always maintained to a very high standard and in locations only available to the NT.

The coastline here is stunning and some great walking too. Luckily our very own active Norfolk regular weekend attendee Huda has agreed to act as Co-Host so we won't go short of her massive local knowledge and maybe one or two of her cakes as well.

Arrival at our accommodation is from anytime after 6pm on Friday but we will lay on our usual bonus walk on Friday to make the most of our trip away for those that can find the time to join us.

Help yourself breakfasts and lunch packups are provided for Saturday, Sunday and Monday as is hot food Friday, Saturday and Sunday but feel free to bring desserts, cakes, biscuits and other snacks to share as well as your own alchoholic drinks. Tea and coffee will be provided.

Routes and options will be discussed with everyone on arrival to ensure we are meeting overall expectations but there is loads to choose from.

There are no private rooms suitable for couples at this venue and all accommodation is in single sex bunk rooms of a variety of sizes with no towels and bedding as below.

At NT venues we provide mattress, pillow, pillowcases and bottom sheets but everyone needs to bring their own single duvet with cover or sleeping bag.

Regular attendees and Life Members have been able to make pre-publication bookings for this and selected other events and places for this event were snapped up instantly!

There is a long wait list which will be dealt with in order of signup if any vacancies occur but you can always add yourself to the wait list for any of our weekends away simply by requesting that in the comment thread at the bottom of each writeup.

On this weekend there is an option to stay for three rather than two nights for an extra £20 payable with the final balance.

The final balance of £95 per person together with the optional £20 for the third night will be payable via BACS at least 12 weeks before the event date being 22nd January 2027.
