Memorable team Away Day


An adventurous away day, hill-walking, canoeing and mountain biking in the heart of the Brecon Beacons


The Talybont Trail is the name we have given to our favourite team building away day in the Brecon Beacons National Park of South Wales. This is the ideal event if you want an active team building day to accompany an off-site team meeting or as a stand-alone away day.

Our base for the day is Talybont on Usk, near Crickhowell – an attractive small town in the Usk Valley – reached within the hour from the Severn Crossing or a little over the hour from the West Midlands. If you choose to stay overnight we can steer you toward a selection of attractive country house hotels, coaching inns, pubs (including winners of numerous “Pub of the Year” awards).

The Talybont Trail is a full day that requires your team to plan, coordinate, problem solve and really pull together. After a thorough briefing, your team draws up a plan of action, plots their route, collects and packs equipment and allocates roles and responsibilities. Our facilitator works with your team to ensure the event is positively, professionally presented and debriefed upon completion. All necessary training and equipment is given with close attention to health and safety.

The journey undertaken (The Talybont Trail) is in three stages: The first involves paddling Canadian Canoes along the “Brec & Mon” canal including a daunting 400 metre long tunnel! Later, you’re on foot traversing or (if you feel energetic!) climbing over Tor y Foel (the Welsh for “Steep Bare Hill”). The views are simply stunning. From Tor y Foel we pick up mountain-bikes for an exhilarating descent on forest-tracks and alongside a beautiful lake back to our start point.

As your journey unfolds a sequence of team challenges will be encountered. These require your team to stop, think and overcome specific team tasks. The reward: a set of clues that, when pieced together, will guide you to, and allow you to open, a hidden treasure box – your prize for completing The Talybont Trail!

Though an active event, the Talybont Trail is fully within the scope of a reasonably active person; you do not need to be fit or have experience of outdoor activities. To finish we return to your hotel or venue (or a nearby pub) for hot baths/showers and a well-deserved drink from the bar – a truly memorable day!
