Experiences
While we are onboarding providers and sorting the teccy stuff out we thought we would offer some awesome experiences from our own experts and using the 2 wonderful hostels we own. If you are not into trail running, sorry, but come back later for more
Tue June 17th – Tue June 24th 2025
Llanddeusant, Brecon Beacons. Accommodation at Almond Lodge: Brecon Beacons
£35 (*suggested) per night includes accommodation + Cooperative evening meal
*Too much? Pay what you can afford – this is about community not profit making!
The idea here is it’s an open house – you can come for the week or just a day – or whatever. Come alone or in a group. It’s flexible, its accessible, it’s an impromptu meeting of like minded people who want to enjoy the trails, share experiences and knowledge and have some fun
We ran a long weekend like it last June with a hodgepotch of people – and we had a blast. It’s a bit of an experiment, but if it works we will run more of them… in different locations too
