The other day I calculated that during my lifetime I have driven, or in my younger days been driven, through the Brecon Beacons almost a thousand times. But never have I stopped to take a look at this magnificent National Park.

Alas at this present moment it is not the time to put the walking boots on and head for the hills, but I did spot that this past weekend the National Park Mountain Centre was hosting the Brecon Beacons Summer Fayre. This seemed like a good place to at least dip a toe in the water of the Beacons (although that idiom might be best reserved for the sea-bounding Pembrokeshire Coast National Park).
