This walk is in the past.
Starting from the car park nr the west end of Talybont reservoir (Blaen y Glyn Uchaf), we initially head along the old railway route past the Talybont reservoir which is easy walking and gently downhill. We then cut north and ascend via the Talybont Forest and out onto the moorland area and up to the summit of Pen y Bryn (561m), we then head in a south west direction via the Beacons way and some good sections of ridgeline with great views in the sunset. Its 705m of total climbing and 20.9km / 13 miles (measured on OS Maps). Bring very warm clothes; with wind chill it will feel very cold on the high sections even though its forecast to be sunny, the highest point is 743m. Also bring good footwear, hats, gloves, sunglasses, torch and picnic lunch. Either meet for car share at the watertower in Clifton or meet there, see details below. We can hve a hot drink afterwards in one of the pubs in Talybont.
