Screwfix  & Altavia Challenge 2016

The Brecon Beacons

For our charity challenge this year we are taking on the Brecon Beacons. Home of the SAS training team we will embark on two tough routes over two days.

Day One starts off with a tough 6 ½ miles of the Glyn Tarrell geotrail. This tough route, which takes in Fan Fawr, the plateau of Fforest Fawr & the glacially formed Craig Cerrig-Gleisiad, is home to Wales’s first European Geopark. Some steep climbs involved for day one.

Day two is the much harder 11 miles of the Beacons Circuit. This route takes in almost all of the Brecons main summits and ridges in one hit. Including 873m Corn Du and the 886m high Pen-y-Fan.

It’s going to be a tough 2 days of hiking in all terrains.

And once again we are fundraising for the Screwfix Foundation.  

This years' challenge team consists of Rod Bowditch, Nick White, Richard Gingell, Claire Sweet, Angela Milner, David Marshall, Murray Charlton, Juanita Valture, Andy Screen, Tom Blake. Nick Sale, Kim Fourmy, Agata Jaszczuk & Chris Nicholson.
