The alternative route is shown in case of poor weather near Fan Brycheiniog and Picws Du.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Beacons Way runs for 99 miles across the spectacular upland scenery of the Brecon Beacons National Park from Abergavenny train station to Llangadog train station through Monmouthshire, Powys and Carmarthenshire in Wales. The trail follows remote, rugged terrain and can be challenging with 8,500 feet of ascent. It is waymarked where it crosses farmland, but there is no waymarking on open hills and moorland so it is advisable to have good route navigational skills and a compass. The Beacons Way was devised by the late John Sansom (an avid walker and key member of the Brecon Beacons Park Society), in conjunction with Arwel Michael and Chris Barber.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Zigzag Footpath Map Range\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe idea for the ‘Zigzag’ was to create a user-friendly map for people looking to walk long distance footpaths. Working with Ordnance Survey’s 25k scale mapping we were looking to cover a path at the most economical scale. Although our personal favourite scale is 16k, we also use 20k and even 25k for some of the very long paths, such as Offa’s Dyke. We decided on a concertina strip map in order to make it easy to use. You only have to open two panels at a time, it can be comfortably held in one hand and will fit a back pocket. Creating the map can be quite challenging as many footpaths are not linear, especially coastal ones, however the advantage, apart from ease of use, is that one map can conceivably span a couple of sheet maps with footpath distances varying between 20 and 30 miles, depending on scale and routing. The map is laminated (showerproof) and printed on 250 gsm card, so it is relatively tough and does not flop around. It has a concise Legend on the back with a QR code and web link to the full OS 25k Legend online. The map comes in a plastic sleeve with a useful scale ruler, showing distance in both miles and kilometres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYP Zigzag Beacons Way 3: Craig-y-nos to Llangadog Walking Map \u003c\/span\u003eSpecifications \u0026amp; Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Concertina laminated map\u003cbr\u003eSize: 27 x 10 cms (folded) \/ 27 x 109 (unfolded)\u003cbr\u003eScale: 1:16 000 (approx 4 to 1 mile)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN 9780755844661\u003cbr\u003eSKU 83409\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe ‘Zigzag’ map can best be summed up by the following -\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEasy to use mapping while walking\u003cbr\u003eLaminated for showerproofing\u003cbr\u003eUseful scale ruler for distance\u003cbr\u003eSlips easily into your pocket\u003cbr\u003eDouble-sided Map\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1819\/4951\/files\/Yellow_Publications.png?v=1742503366\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yellow Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58965384724861,"sku":"YP-Zigzag-Beacons-Way-3:-Craig-y-nos-to-Llangadog-Walking-Map","price":9.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1819\/4951\/files\/zigzag-beacons-way-3-craig-y-nos-llangadog-cover.jpg?v=1792867201","url":"https:\/\/outdooradventurer.co.uk\/products\/yp-zigzag-beacons-way-3-craig-y-nos-to-llangadog-walking-map","provider":"Outdoor Adventurer Survival Camping and Adventure","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
