This walk is in the past.
This is the big one! It's the 4th part of the epic Beacons Way, and this part is a 14-mile romp with 1020m of ascent, covering some of the most stunning and dramatic parts of the Brecon Beacons National Park, including the highest mountain in South Wales, Pen y Fan.
We'll be heading westwards from the village of Llangynidr around the base of Tor y Foel, thorough forests surrounding the beautiful Talybont reservoir, before steeply climbing up to Craig y Fan Ddu. From there we'll follow the ridge along to Fan y Big, skirting around Cribyn before climbing Pen Y Fan and across to Corn Du, finally dropping down to the car park at the Storey Arms centre!
It will be a long day but really rewarding, although due to the exposed area the walk will be moved if the weather looks horrific! Waterproofs, plenty of snacks and plenty of water will be needed.
Bring packed lunch.
