Next Saturday CardiffAS will be Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park Visitor Centre, hopefully our Sun will shine. Warning: Looking at the Sun can be very dangerous unless the proper precautions are taken and specialized solar viewing equipment is used. Never look directly at the Sun with your eyes.
