So for my housemate and I's next walk we plan to follow a circular route to the summit of Corn Du and back. Haven't personally been up any of the Beacons and was wondering if anyone had an insights. I'm aware that the wind can really get up in the area and I'm a little weary of that...

Ah sorry bud, 'brecon' is just my shorthand for 'Brecon Beacons National Park', didn't mean the village. Me and my hiking buddy are planning to walk at-least once or twice a month for the next 6 months or so, building up to a 100 miler from one side of the park to the other hopefully in...

That's the area.

Further south than that wingstoo, other edge of the park. Yeah Meindl Desert Fox. Survived an ankle deep river crossing near the start of the day with no leaks, but a couple hours of muck and bog later they were wet through. I got them for free so I can't complain.

I can do better than that mate: We took a couple of wrong turns so added a good couple of k in the wrong direction, but we followed that exact route eventually. Starting at 'C', Dinas Rock.

If it looks like a horse and it sounds like a horse, it's probably a horse, not a brown zebra.. And with that, I'd agree with Blacktimberwolf in that it's most likely a big tom cat. Out of interest, were there any marks on the bones that could indicate it was attacked?

Cheers, nice to know. Just got back, over 7 hours up and down. I think OS need to update their maps, I was lead to believe the route we took would be on footpaths, not rivers. Absolutely drenched.

Aha. The rugby ball, box, bucket of protein shake, bike lock, playstation controller and laptop aren't coming. They just happen to be on the living-room floor. Thanks for the welcomes.
