Long Weekend away in Brecon

Thursday 8th April we  left home for a long weekend at the Caravan Club Site at Aberbran  on the Brecon National Park. The journey to Brecon was along the reservoirs  the scenery was beautiful there was even snow on the top on Pen y Fan one of the highest mountains in the Beacons.

We arrived on site around 1.30pm. in glorious weather.  After setting up we had a walk around the site and surrounding area.
