Black Mountains Roundabout
A 25 mile mountain marathon in the Brecon Beacons National park, organised jointly by Brecon Mountain rescue Team and Newport Outdoor group.
The BMR takes the high road from Crickhowell. Passing Llanbedr, you climb 8 miles of whale back ridge – so very characteristic of the Black Mountains – to reach Waun Fach, the highest point in the range. From here, it is down hill to Pengenffordd, with cold drinks when you arrive. Mynydd Troed is a 1000 ft climb, followed by Mynydd Llangorse, dropping again to lower altitudes and more drinks at Pentre. You have done 20 miles by now and you’re about to hit the wall – 1800 ft of it – before you top Pen Allt- Mawr, breeze along the ridge to Pen Cerrig-Catch and down, down all the way back to Crickhowell.
