Cradoc Golf Club, Brecon
www.cradoc.co.uk
This website has been recommended to us by local member Steve Connelly from Crickhowell who emailed us to say the club has "arguably one of the most beautiful courses in Mid Wales. With views across the Brecon Beacons, Cradoc Golf Club is second to none!". The photos on the website are proof of the club's stunning setting - the best views apparently are from the 7th tee reached after a 'challenging' climb. You can check out all 18 holes online, find out about green fees and view a calendar of the year's Open Competitions.

Llangorse Multi Activity Centre
www.activityuk.com
This website claims that Llangorse is home of the largest indoor climbing and riding centre in Wales, and it does a good job of persuading you. With descriptions of the different activities, from riding to scrambling and climbing, the site gives all the contact details and hard information but is also accompanied by lots of follow up photos and a bit of video footage too. All you might need to be inspired!

Visiting Brecon
www.brecon.co.uk
If you're a tourist looking for somewhere to stay in Brecon, you'll probably find this site really useful. It also includes ideas on things to do and has some nice photos of the Brecon Beacons National Park, as well as listings for local businesses, restaurants, services etc. The discussion board does not seem to be very popular judging by the number of messages posted when we looked (0).
