One of our most popular trips, this micro-adventure offers you the chance to get out of the city and into the mountains whilst using only one day of your hard-earned weekend.

That’s right, we can go to the mountains and back in just a day!

We meet in west London in the morning and drive to the unique landscape of the Brecon Beacons in south Wales, stopping for breakfast on the way.

Once there we’ll hike a 12 mile circuit that takes in three of the highest peaks in the area – including the highest peak in south Wales, Pen-y-Fan – before descending back down in the dark with our head torches shining the way.

We’ll then drive back, stopping for dinner along the way and arriving in London at around 10:00pm.

** Please note that whilst this is a relatively easy mountain hike, we do fit a lot in and so a reasonable level of fitness is required in order to make sure we can finish in good time.**
