Ive put together some location ideas below for our trip and hope others contribute their own locations to this thread. Also tried to list the distance by car from our base at Hopyard Farm.

Waterfalls, Brecon Beacons has lots of the them! This map covers most - http://www.breconbeacons.org/all_downlo ... ry-map.pdf. The Four Falls walk or the Elidir Trail look like a good options. (40 mins drive)
Only a 10 min drive away is The Skirrid, a hill climb with great views and only a 2 hour circular walk - http://www.walkingenglishman.com/wales08.html
Another walk at Llyn y Fan Fach has spectacular views on a 5km walk (1h 20m drive) - http://www.discovercarmarthenshire.com/ ... -y-fan.pdf
There is also picturesque Llangorse Lake and Llanthony Priory a lovely ruin among the valleys, both 30 mins drive.
For something underground there is the National Showcaves Centre for Wales - http://www.showcaves.co.uk/ (1hr drive)
If we get clear night skies we could go out for some star gazing/photography as the whole park is classed as a Dark Sky Reserve - more info here http://www.breconbeacons.org/stargazing

I will print out some of these maps to bring along.

Thanks for doing this. I know that Nina has found some places in the Llanvihangel Crucorney area which she will tell people about. I also made some suggestions for locations in the original thread - the Gospel Pass to the north of Llanvihangel Crucorney is a very attractive area and has a lot of potential.

Paul thanks for doing that for us. I particularly like the waterfalls and the night sky part.
Looking forward to next week. Wally

Don't forget to look up!

I have just returned from an astronomy event in Brecon Beacons. Wonderful dark skies. If you get a clear night how about a few shots including the Milky Way?
