DDAS Stargazing
Aberbran Fawr Campsite, Brecon
27-28th September 2025
| A number of DDAS members stayed at or near the Aberbran Fawr Campsite near Brecon for several days on and around the weekend of the 27th-28th September 2025, in what has become something of an annual pilgrimage to do a spot of stargazing under very dark skies. Here are some photos from the trip. |
