This walk is in the past.
An alternate horseshoe loop in the Brecon Beacons, including Fan y Big, Cribyn, Pen y Fan and Corn Du. This is a mountain walk so there should hopefully be stunning views, but also potentially difficult weather!
It's a challenging 2+ boot hike (12.5 miles/20.1km & 3320ft/1012m elevation), so please ensure you have both the necessary equipment (including full waterproof and windproof clothing, warm things, lots of food and drink and hiking boots), as well as the fitness needed to complete the walk.
There are some steep sections, and it may be slippery, so please bring walking poles if you find these helpful. Other hazards to be aware of include steep drops if leaving the path, and tick bites. I will be checking the weather in the lead up and may postpone the walk if it is looking grim.
Meeting point is the water tower on the downs at 08.15, aiming to leave shortly after. I estimate the walk will take around 7 hours, so the early start is to ensure we can finish in the daylight.
Hope to see you there!
Bring packed lunch. Pub to finish.
