Sunday 0715 – Meet in this ‘free’ parking lay-by just west of the white Storey Arms building on the A470. The correct lay-by is NOT the small parking area/bus stop opposite the Storey Arms building, the correct lay-by is a little more to the west:

You will leave your car at this lay-by and use transport provided by RAW to access the start of the Day 5 route. When you finish the day’s route, we will drive you back to where your cars are parked.
A useful place to base yourself for either the night before and/or the night after is Brecon Beacons YHA Hostel which is walkable from the lay-by or a short drive/run.
Apx 43km/2650m ascent (even though this day is a LONG training/recce day, we will be able to meet the RAW van multiple times during the day so there’s plenty of opportunity to re-fill water/take breaks etc).
