  1. I'm off the Brecon Beacons in a week or two for the first time in ages.
    In fact, it'll be the first time since the Right to Roam access land
    came into being. I'd be interested to know from Beacons experts if the
    new access has opened up anywhere interesting that wasn't available
    previously?

  2. I have no idea.

    I have walked in the Beacons for many years, and I cant remember coming
    across any areas where I wanted to walk, where I could not.

    The only notices I can recall were about dogs at lambing time and they
    will probably still put those out every spring.

    I have yet to find the RTR legislation any use but that might be because
    I have been practising RTR on the hills since I was a lad and very few
    (any?) of the higher hills have had real access problems.

    Been walking that way a few times, though not foe a few years. I cant
    recall anything obvious saying I should not, ignorance is bliss maybe.

    That's a reasonable request!

    My point was that it is open now, praps I got it the wrong way round
    before.

    Still went there, never a problem - even before the 1984 change.
    Plenty did.. ditto the moors above Ogof Ffynnon Ddu.

    They had a no access ever policy until 1984.

    Most of my visits to the area have been from 1986 onwards but I did
    visit perhaps a dozen times in the late 60s/early 70s for either caving
    or walking but but memory has faded (or in the case of the walking
    probably overwritten :-)) and I can't remember be bothered by any
    restrictions.

    Isn't that part of the Cnewr Estate.

    Not sure... It may be the successor to the NCC. It was definitedly
    differently managed - not grazed as anyone who has run there will
    know..

    Amazing landscape..

    That's way before I first got there but their permissive paths were
    sufficiently indistinct to provide de facto access to the whole area
    (outside lambing) even before the CROW act came into force. Maybe they
    were just asserting their rights while not being killjoys to individual
    walkers?

    The main advantage to me has been with respect to climbing rather than
    walking - since you stay in the same place all day there was
    previously a higher chance of being told to leave. Though I've still
    been told to stop climbing at Feizor Nick even thou7gh we now have the
    right to.
