This should hopefully mean everyone can take part in this activity, even if you might need to break off into smaller groups.

There are 14 single-track trails in the national park and they will enable you to see a huge range of beautiful landscapes and views. This will definitely make it a stag weekend to remember.

3. Its caving

Another popular sport in the Brecon Beacons is caving, meaning a stag party in the national park really is perfect for even the most ardent of activity enthusiasts. This part of Wales is home to a 70 km stretch of carboniferous limestone formation, with the most challenging systems located in the east of the park.

Indeed, the caves in the Brecon Beacons are highly regarded across Europe, especially the major caving networks of Agen Allwedd and Ogof Daren Cilau. You will need to take an experienced guide with you, so book your group one well in advance of your arrival.

4. Its fishing

One of the best ways to enjoy some quality time with friends is to pack a few beers and find a spot to settle down for some fishing. There is plenty of choice in the Brecon Beacons, so you will easily find a secluded location.

5. Its other activities

While cycling, mountain biking, fishing, gorge walking and caving are all fantastic activities to take part in on a stag do, remember there are lots of other group events you can try. Maximise stag weekends include paintballing, clay pigeon shooting, quad trekking and hover crafting.

This is brilliant if the members of your group enjoy getting stuck into sports, but are not quite at the fitness level required for biking in the mountains or scrambling down caves! This is something to consider if you have been asked to invite older members of the stag's family, who want to help celebrate the upcoming nuptials, but might not enjoy some of the trickier sports.
