Due to weather conditions the date of this walk has changed to March 7th

An absolutely classic Welsh mountain walk tackling 4 of the highest peaks in South Wales - Corn Du, Pen Y Fan, Cribyn and Fan Y Big. It might sound tough, but it's easier than it looks and well worth the effort for some stunning views and amazing scenery! Bring a decent packed lunch and your most waterproof and windproof gear, as the walk is fairly exposed most of the way! Pub to finish.

How do I join the walk?

Unless stated on the walk page, there is no need to sign up to join a walk. You’re very welcome to try out 1 or 2 walks before you join, but we do insist that after that you join the Brunel Walking Group.

On many walks you can just turn up at the meeting point where we will share lifts to the start of the walk. It’s OK if you don’t drive – we normally have enough drivers who are able to give lifts. Some walks you will need to make your way to walk start or you can post on our facebook group to ask if you can share a lift there.
