Incorporating the Brecon Canal, Taff Trail, and Pen y Fan ridge. Done as a run starting from the Brecon canal basin but it could be hiked in a day. Lots of pay & display parking is available near the start point. 6 miles along the canal to Talybont on Usk then turning on to the Taff Trail. The first section is stoney and muddy but turns in to a forestry trail. This runs for another 6-7 miles taking you on a gradual incline through the forest until you come to a road. You run along this for a few minutes before turning right to get on to the path which will take you towards the Black Mountains (which are a bit icy at the moment). Once up you run along the ridge covering Cefn Cul, Rhiw yr Ysgfarnog, Craig Gwaun Taf, Corn Du, Pen y Fan, and Cefn Cwm Llwch. The route then drops down to one of the main carparks and a single track road takes you back in to Brecon. I was staying at a campsite in Pencelli so bolted this run back to camp on to the end but the route is 26 miles if you start and finish in Brecon.

Scenic circular route across the Derbyshire Dales that starts and ends at the pub in Parwich 🍻 The terrain mostly consists of grassland /farmers fields, as well as a stint on the High Peak Trail. It’s not overly hilly but there are some bumps and there is 1 trig point to be bagged at Harboro Rocks. The route will be ran as a race on 12th July 2026 and will probably be much more pleasant compared to January!

Full loop of the reservoir mainly following the lakeside way. If you stick to the lakeside way the route is accessible by bike as well as on foot. Don’t go off-piste like I did unless walking/running!

A lovely route starting from the visitors centre in Castleton. Unfortunately the Win Hill bit is an out and back because I was running out of daylight!
