From Talybont, the route takes you steadily along the Brecon and Monmouthshire Canal Path along the home straight into the Canal Basin, where you will be greeted by supporters, family, friends and a well-deserved medal! 

Route details - 40km

  • You will follow the same route at the 65k but with a few different directions! - Don't worry it will be sign posted! You will also start at 06:00 from Theatr Brycheiniog but you will through Ffrwdgrech, along the  Cefn Cwm Llwch, all the way up to the summit of Pen y Fan before coming down off the Beacons towards Pentwyn Reservoir. You will then head straight along the taff trail and follow the route round to Talybont. The route takes you steadily along the Brecon and Monmouthshire Canal Path along the home straight into the Canal Basin, where you will also  be greeted by supporters, family, friends and a well-deserved medal!

 

"65km – not something that should be taken lightly, nor would I recommend doing it alone. Having the support of a great team of recovery drivers and teammates to share in the pain when it all gets really hard is definitely a must. Luckily for me, I had both!"
