The Big Black Mountains Challenge 2006;

May the 20th.

The Big Black Mountains Challenge consists of a choice of three testing walks/runs; 43k, 27k or 16k, between them taking in 15 summits over 660m around the breathtaking scenery of the Black Mountains, which form part of the Brecon Beacons National Park.

The Black Mountains offer fifteen summits over 2000 feet and most are included in the 43 km walk. Each route is arduous, however, and for reasons of safety, participants require a suitable level of fitness, need to be adequately equipped and have confidence in their navigational skills. The route is fully marshaled, however, and refreshments are provided in as many locations as we can manage. Families with some hill walking experience are most welcome. All routes including the 43 km are very popular with fell runners. We have participants from far and wide. Last year participants travelled from across the United Kingdom. Increasingly now we also have many Corporate Team's, such as Barclays, West Mercia Police, Hereford Times as well as other local Companies and youth groups.
