So I went up to Brecon last week after it had snowed and took my camera with me. The results are below...

Cheers, those were gorgeous photos.

Interesting how in the fourth photo the babies' heads feature more prominently than the hills, at the end of the day, they're harder on the body.

Wow...Thanks for those photos

Ive always wonderd what the Brecon Beacons looked like,ive read many books and have always wanted to see them myself.They actualy look alot like I imagined.

Question...In some of the books ive read,the SAS among other units frequent these hills for training ect...are there parts that are closed to the public all year round,or how does it work? Could I just go out,and run the same hills that the SAS does on endurace? :D

Thanks
