Does anyone know if there is a pub there (or if it is a pub!).

Slightly OT I know, but we are planning to start/end a walk here.

Thanks

Not a pub, its an Outdoor Centre. There is parking opposite it.

Bull at Libanus if memory serves)

Don't remind me - last year the only thing that kept me going at the end of
a long hot day in the Beacons was the thought a beer at the 'Storey Arms'!
When I got there I found out it was an Outdoor Center - ba****ds!! It's like
calling the school where I work 'The Dog and Partridge'. It'll be a long
time before I go back to Wales.

Excelent range of real ales at 2/- a pint.

Seriously IIRC there never was a pub there, unless our Abertawe
correspondants know any better. Its fooled many, dont worry. Just
like the Rest and Be thankfull in Argyll.

Worse still are all the pubs on the OS maps that have recently become
private houses... Grrr!

Thanks all.

It seems as if there's a tea van in EVERY layby on the A470 across the
Beacons these days!

Storey Arms obviously sounds like a pub. Is there a "Storey" (sorry for the
pun) behind this name?

The best one is the tea van/snacks van usually situated at the "RAC"
corner further towards Brecon - about 1 mile (?) very Clean and
wholesome grub.

Just to confuse the likes of Jim Ford - there's no RAC box there any
more. Seeing as he isn't coming to Wales any more - what could be
better?
