Route
Start/Finish Location: Crickhowell High School Car Park, NP8 1AW
Leaving the historic town of Crickhowell the hike starts with a gentle meandering trek alongside the River Usk before turning off at Cwrt-y-Gollen. The hike then takes a hilly undulating route through forestry lines and along the Grwyne Fawr River out towards Llangenny and skirts around Llanbedr with a mixture of short steep ascents, narrow uneven ground and in places rocky underfoot. The scenery is a delight and there will be an opportunity to stop and refuel.
The hike builds in elevation to the final climb of Table Mountain where you will be greeted with far reaching fantastic views before heading back down into Crickhowell feeling elated and accomplished.
A good level of fitness is required but very rewarding.
Event Information
Fundraising: Your amazing fundraising is what helps the Hospice be there for patients and their loved ones when they need us the most. You are encouraged to set up a Just Giving Page a sponsorship form will also be emailed to you as pack of your welcome pack when you sign up.
We are asking walkers to raise a minimum of £200 which will help us to be there for patients and their loved one when they need us the most.
Duration: The event is not a race; everyone will walk together at a comfortable pace. The 13-miles should take approximately 7 hours which allows for a few comfort stops and brief lunchbreak.
Event Support; There will be a walk leader at the front and rear and if numbers require an additional walk leader per group in-between. A member of the team will be on hand at each of the scheduled stop to cheer you on and encourage you, water and basic snack refueling, basic first aid and if there is a requirement to take anyone back to Crickhowell.
