It's a tiny little area a few miles ENE of Llandovery, just north of the Brecon Beacons.

I wonder what the SAS are doing

Dixie corner is and always has been a CP location for the majority of the army training on the brecons nothing sinister occurring IMHO. The army, navy, even the marines use this area and most often as not the DS directing staff make their camp at Dixies... So why would we assume it is the SAS. Most likely the Signals...

Besides the SAS don't get involved in Signalling per say they have a whole regiment of comms support who do it for them...

If you are interested in SAS specialist training look on google earth and search for Pontrilas there is a base there called PATA. Garrabach Coppice and Big Birches Wood...
