Inspires confidence,
By A Customer
This review is from: Walk The Brecon Beacons (Spiral-bound)
It’s years since I walked in the Brecons, the book I had was written by a sadist and it put me off. This book’s written by a guy you warm to straight away - he inspires confidence, tells you exactly what to expect, and throws in some brilliant maps and photographs. All that, and I can use my new GPS. (What else did I get for Christmas?) Plus, at last, spiral binding - a walking book made for people who actually walk! Excellent.

Definitive Guide Rekindled my Interest,
By Bo Reda (Wales) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Walk The Brecon Beacons (Spiral-bound)
Some of my earliest walking was done on the Beacons but I have neglected the area for too long. This book has rekindled my interest. Its 40 walks cover the whole of the National Park and include both the main summits and ridges, and some lower level walking, ranging from easy to strenuous. I think it will become the definitive walking guide to the Beacons, helped by Discovery Walking Guides modern presentation, the latest OS mapping with right to roam areas, and GPS data for all walks.

An excellent walking guide to the Brecon Beacons,
By Mark White (Abergavenny) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Walk The Brecon Beacons (Spiral-bound)
I love this area and have walked the Beacons for years.I found the selection of walks intriguing - some old friends, but plenty of new routes to try.I have done walk 26, Pen y Fan from Taf Fechan (I had climbed it before but by a diffent route), and walk 32 Taf Fawr - wonderful views (and not too strenuous!) and found the route descriptions clear and interesting. There are plenty of points of reference throughout the descriptions including frequent timings, compass directions to keep you from getting lost, and I am finally coming round to the idea of getting a GPS as all the walk records in GPS form are in the book.There are some lovely photos taken on the routes, and the mapping is the latest OS; it is very useful to have a map section for every walk. This book is a pleasure to read and a pleasure to use.
