THE BEACONS WAY

Here is a picture, by Arwel Michael, of the end of the Park Society's first ever walk along the Beacons Way.
Taken on 7th May 2005 at Llangadog common before adjourning for refreshment.

Park Society member Rob Knowles is leading, usually in July/August, a guided walk along the Beacons Way, over 8 consecutive day, as part of the National Park's Guided Walks Programme. This has now become an annual event and early booking is advised.

THE EPYNT WAY

Since the 1930's the Army has occupied most of the Northern half of the Epynt lying between the Ifon, Wye and Usk valleys, to the west of the Crychan Forest.
>From 2002 the MOD, together with the Ramblers Association and local residents, have been opening up the Epynt Way (mostly lying inside the edge of the MOD land).
In October 2004 the first two phases were opened to the public, from Disgwylfa round to Esgair Wen, which the Park Society have walked several times
More guided walks along the Way will be offered as and when new section are opened to the public. 
Maps of the Epynt Way can be obtained from John Clifford on: 01874 635511 or go to: www.defence-estates.mod.uk/epyntway
