Scores of swingers from across the UK are to descend on the Brecon Beacons for a “hoedown” this summer – to the raised eyebrows of locals.

More than 100 have signed up for the two-day cowboy-themed sex party on July 4 and 5 – which comes after an Eyes Wide Shut style masked ball held in Wales last year.

The weekend, in the shadow of Ystradfellte waterfalls, is being set up by a couple claiming to be called “Fire and Ice”, also known as Ally and Steve.

They have been plugging the £20 nookie nights at the secluded Clyngwyn Bunkhouse on a swingers website.

“We have been on the scene for a while but are by no means hardened swingers,” the saucy couple wrote.

“We enjoy the social side just as much as anything else.”

Partygoers from all over Wales have been boasting of their party outfits on the website fabswingers.com

MissMaverick, from Swansea, promised to bring some order.

“Sounds like you guys need a sheriff to oversee matters,” she said. “Luckily for you, I know one.”

But not everyone is amused.

One woman, who lives nearby, contacted WalesOnline to say she was “disgusted”.

“It is despicable that people should parade their sexual escapades in the open, the venue is easily accessible to all kinds of hikers even children, and indeed the venue is used as a hiking hostel for youths on occasion,” she said.

The resident claimed the event was being attended by professionals from schoolteachers to social workers.

“I for one wouldn’t appreciate my children or indeed any family member depending on people that saw public sex displays as a hobby,” she said.

She claims the group have hired a photographer to record the shindig.

“He is photographing the naked jelly and custard wrestling and selling the photographs,” said the local.

“It makes one’s mind boggle really.”

But not everyone is as disapproving. Glynneath councillor Eddie Jones welcomed the tourists.

He said: “Anything that brings people to my area is to be welcomed.

“I wouldn’t want them running down the middle of the street doing anything, amusing as that might be.

“But each to their own I suppose. I’m not a prude by any means.”

He added he was “very happily married” and would not be swapping his wife “for a younger model.”

“We’d like them to come and spend money in local businesses,” he said.

The four-star Clyngwyn bunkhouse, which is located within the Brecon Beacons National Park, has 19 beds and camping facilities on its three acres of land.

Their website states: “Clyngwyn’s range of accommodation open all year round allows us to cater for a wide range of group holidays, family holidays, schools, parties, reunions and weddings/civil partnerships.

“We aim to provide a friendly and laid-back atmosphere for you to feel at ease to enjoy as you please.”

Owner Julie Hurst said: “I just rent my bunkhouse out, I don’t know what they are doing. You would need to speak to the organisers.

“I can pass on your details to them. It’s lovely weather isn’t it?”

Last night the organisers had not replied to messages sent by WalesOnline.
