Last Saturday 02 March, saw 8 employees meet again for another session of training for the Three Peaks Challenge. Lyndon Phillips, Fred Strickland, Trish Summerfield, Steve Mansfield, Dave Hine, Mark Ayling and Gemma Lewis who hope to complete the challenge in June were joined by Craig Price and Julian Stockton who came along for the walk.
They met on a rather chilly morning at Brecon Theatre just after 8am and started on their trek along the canal. With the intention of walking for 2 hours and then turning back the group were soon making an excellent pace of just over 3 miles an hour and buoyed on by the arrival of sunny weather decided to walk into the town of Talybont-on-Usk (approximately 7 miles from Brecon).
A very picturesque and flat walk took the group past many canal boats (some of which were in use), mini waterfalls and an array of wildlife. Unfortunately the group arrived in Talybont too early to obtain refreshments from the local pub but after a short break the group turned around and headed back towards Brecon. With the sun shining down on them the group made it back to base, taking a few photographs on the way. Apart from a few sore and aching feet it had been a successful walk with the group maintaining a constant pace for over 4 hours.
Total miles – 13.5
Time taken – 4 ¼ hours
