Travel Itinerary
Pen y Fan is an iconic Welsh mountain with views to Devon and Somerset to the South and to Cadair Idris to the North, in clear weather of course! this walk is 11km and has 600m of ascent... You have been warned ;)
Following the Taff up to it's source, a route we'll have to ourselves, some may get wet feet so good boots are a must. Then it's the steep climb to Corn Du and onto Pen y Fan, taking in the views, seeking out the fossil beach, and getting some fine Instagram worthy snaps.
It's then off piste once again and we'll have the mountain to ourselves as we hilariously slide down steep slopes on our backsides. This is a truly hysterical experience! We'll explore Llyn Cwm Llwch and discuss its mysteries before heading up to the sad memorial of Tommy Jones where Andy will relay the true facts of this case.
A final mountain, Yr Gyrn, is peak bagged as we descend to the start point.
Pen y Fan can become very crowded indeed. However, the paths we will take for most of the day are used by no others and if midweek we'll have much of the hike to ourselves!View Location
