Hiya
So me and the girlfriend are going camping in Brecon at the beginning of August (Yes I know I'm missing the moot!).
The first question is, where would you recommend going/doing? We're thinking of going to brecon and talgarth and perhaps rent a canoe and go to hay on wye. Any other suggestions of places to go would be nice.
Second question, which map should we buy/take? The main part of the national park is on OS map OL12 and includes Brecon. Talgarth is on OL13 and Hay-on-wye is on OL13, but some of the other areas around are on 189. Everywhere seems to lie on a map boundary! A 1:25000 map is ideal for us walking (I'll use the satnav to drive there) but we don't want to have a huge pile of maps and custom OS maps don't seem worth it! Is there a non OS map that covers this area or a map that is better or would you recommend getting OL12 and visting places in the beacons and visiting but not exploring around talgarth etc?
Thanks
Dan
