2026 marks the ten year anniversary of the the first CAG Beacons Way adventure. To celebrate the CAG volunteer who arranged and led the original challenge -  Simon Foster -  is putting on a spectacular offer for us.

The Beacons Way was first established in 2005 and the route is designed to present this beautiful part of Wales in the very best possible light. It is an area of high hills, deep valleys and expansive moorland.
