What better way to start 2024 than with the celebration of a big birthday announcement for one of our local, family businesses? 

Black Mountain Adventure (BMA) has reached their impressive 30-year milestone in operating fun-filled land & water adventure activities in the Brecon Beacons and on the River Wye.

As one of the very first adventure companies in the Beacons, Black Mountain was originally set up by The Durham Family who are still at the helm to this day. They initially started offering canoe hire and kayak instruction alongside mountain bike hire and guided trips in the early 1990s and this expanded with the addition of gorge walks and white water rafting with more activities to follow.

They are still proud to be family owned and operated with husband and wife owners, Carl and Ann Durham leading their team of loyal staff, some permanent and some seasonal, who come back year after year to work in this great industry. Black Mountain has won plenty of awards over the years and offers a whole range of exciting outdoor activities including canoeing, kayaking, rafting, gorge walking, archery, high ropes courses, land karting, mountain biking, abseiling and clay pigeon shooting. 

BMA also runs a British Canoeing approved centre offering canoe, kayak & SUP rental, canoe and kayak coaching and canoe and kayak courses, all available on the stunning River Wye.

Popular with families, stag and hen weekenders, kids adventure days, youth groups, corporate team building days, couples looking for a more adventurous romantic weekend away, Black Mountain cater for pretty much everyone who wants some outdoor adrenaline and plenty of fresh mountain or river air.

The team at BMA have also recently opened The Paddleboard and SUP Shop on the same site as the adventure business, offering kit for all their customers and locals, with everything from gloves and beanies to DryRobes and buoyancy aids, kayaks and paddleboards

Proud of their hundreds of glowing reviews on Trip Advisor and Google, it is clear to see how many people love the adventures and activities they’ve delivered over the last 30 years.
