Get set for a cracking Christmas 2018 by joining us in the Brecon Beacons, not far from the English border.
This legendary event promises a mix of amazing walking, Christmas Dinner to die for, Secret Santa, entertainment to leave you rolling - and a starry setting among friends, fire and song, to remember the true spirit of Christmas. Oh and bring your most festive / scary Xmas jumper!
There will be a selection of walks - ranging from gentle and pretty through challenging and scenic. A chance to visit waterfalls, stroll the moors and hills so abundant to the Brecons. There will also be the chance to explore the amazing Llangattock caves with the ever lovely Paul on Sunday if you want to delay the journey home. Always worth the visit.
The high point of the weekend will of course be the legendary three course Christmas dinner, a welcome feast at the end of a long day spent admiring the surrounding winter wonderland!
But we'll also celebrate the soulful side of Christmas with some warming mince pies and carols, as we gaze up at the glowing stars from the edge of this particularly magical landscape - a memorable moment to truly awaken your Christmas spirit.
Step out the front door and you're smack-bang in some of the best walking country Wales has to offer. If snow is going to fall in Southern Britain, this is where it's falling and the setting in winter-time is truly magical... but you may find it hard to leave the welcoming lounge of comfy arm chairs and the great OutdoorLads festive cheer!
So join us in South Wales and have yourself a nadolig llawen!
You may also enjoy exploring the nearby (by car) Llangattock cave entrances on Sunday; if so, please sin-up here.... https://www.outdoorlads.com/events/explore-llangattock-cave-entrances-b…
