Sun 21 November 2010.....Cefn Crew @ 770m(2,526ft)

Return to complete Cefn Crew in the Brecon Beacons in Wales.............

We parked opposite the Cantref Reservoir and headed through the forest up the south-west face of the Burnt Mound continuing up to Cefn Crew 770m (2,526ft) and returned back the same way. An approximate 4mile hike.

It was overcast with strong winds over the mountain resulting in a chill factor close freezing. Even though they were adequately protected from the elements, the children found the cold rather uncomfortable.

 On the decent we found a location that had been previously used to build a camp fire, and set up a camp fire to raise the children's moral and spirits after that weather beaten session. Also, the children had a hands-on lesson in how to responsibly build, and on completion extinguish, a camp fire.

All-in-all it was a good excursion.
