5.0 out of 5 stars Inspires confidence, 11 Jan 2006
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitive Guide Rekindled my Interest, 16 Jan 2006
By Bo Reda (Wales) - See all my reviews
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars I've read them all but this beats them all, 23 Jan 2006
I am a keen hill walker and I know the Brecon Beacons well, so I was impressed to find plenty of new routes in Walk! The Brecon Beacons. I particularly liked the clear directions done in an easy style. It is good to see a publisher giving GPS data in a walking book - this is really valuable, especially in an area like the Beacons where the weather can close down.

I have only had time to try 2 routes so far but I really enjoyed them and hope to do the lot. Well done, Bob Greaves!

5.0 out of 5 stars Just a quick note about the maps with each walk...
The only disappointment with this book would be that the maps are rather hard to read and make out. I would therefore strongly recomend that you purchase Explorer OL12 (Brecon... Read more
