Travel Challenge 2011 - Win a walking/cycling weekend in the Brecon Beacons! And lots more...
There are many ways to get to the Brecon Beacons National Park without your car and to travel around while you're here, so why not enter our Travel Challenge competition and try something different?
From 1st May to 30th September 2011, all you need to do is to arrive by bus or train or try a different method of travel while you're here - anything but the car! It could be a bus (have you ever used the Beacons Bus?) or train, walking, cycling, canoeing, horse riding, taking a canal barge - we're sure you get the idea! Send us proof of your alternative travel - a ticket, a receipt or a photo and we'll enter you into one of our monthly prize draws from May to September 2011.
Prizes for the monthly draws include signed books, magazine subscriptions and more and then in October, all the entries we've received over the Summer will go into a final grand prize draw to win a walking/cycling weekend in the Brecon Beacons! You will be staying at The Bridge Cafe in Brecon and Drover Holidays will guide you on a walk on one day and a cycle ride the next. You can even try an electric bike!
Enter online or pick up an entry form with full terms and conditions at any of our TICs, ask at your accommodation or get one from one of the many activity centres taking part.
