keen to take my two sons to the wonderful Brecon Beacons and camp 'wild'. Would like to be near river, and able to build a fire.
I had Pontneddfechan in mind. Does anybody have any advice or suggestions? Are there restrictions on where you can camp or the making of fires? If so, any suggestions about alternative places?
thanks
I've seen people camping here.
Its on O/S sheet 160 Brecon Beacons. You cam park at 064 170. Follow the stream up and you can find some flat bits were you can camp. Everythings pretty dry at the moment so take care if you light a fire.
If thats no good you could wild camp outside the Star Inn Talybont-on-usk like I do.
im not against wild camping myself but beware.
Wild Camping in the Brecon Beacons:
* To camp anywhere in the Brecon Beacons National Park requires the permission of the landowner - this includes areas of open land
* special bylaws prohibit camping on National Trust land
* farmers and other landowners may give permission to camp on enclosed land for which there maybe a fee
* there are a number of camping sites that may appeal to the "wild country camper" and a leaflet listing them is available from National Park Information Centres.

If you do wild camp then don't light a fire. That's just pushing your luck. And vastly increasing your visibility.
