Summary: Highly Recommended!
Comment: Being spiral bound makes this book easy to refer to, along with well written directions taking you through some stunning scenery, noting the pubs en-route is great! The small OS map outlining your walk is really helpful too.

Thus far I have walked 5 out of the 40 walks and hope to do them all by the end of the year! I absolutely adore this book and highly recommend it to others!

Summary: Just a quick note about the maps with each walk...
Comment: 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 Beacons National Park - Eastern Area) and Explorer OL13 (Brecon Beacons National Park - Western and Central Areas) which will cover most walks.

Otherwise this book is excellent, giving a wide variety of walks at all levels of experience!

Summary: An excellent walking guide to the Brecon Beacons
Comment: I love this area and have walked the Beacons for years.I found the selection of walks intriguing - some old friends, but plenty of new routes to try.

I have done walk 26, Pen y Fan from Taf Fechan (I had climbed it before but by a diffent route), and walk 32 Taf Fawr - wonderful views (and not too strenuous!) and found the route descriptions clear and interesting. There are plenty of points of reference throughout the descriptions including frequent timings, compass directions to keep you from getting lost, and I am finally coming round to the idea of getting a GPS as all the walk records in GPS form are in the book.There are some lovely photos taken on the routes, and the mapping is the latest OS; it is very useful to have a map section for every walk.

This book is a pleasure to read and a pleasure to use.

Summary: I've read them all but this beats them all
Comment: 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!

Summary: Definitive Guide Rekindled my Interest
Comment: 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.
