This walk is in the past.
We will start from Pant station and catch the 11am departure on the Brecons Mountain Railway for a 25min journey up the valley via Pontsticill and Pentwyn reservoirs to the summit of the line at Torpantau station, the train will be hauled by a vintage steam locomotive. We will then start the walk and head up the valley and up over Fan y Big and then follow ridge lines with great views before descending to cross a valley and then up over Pant y Creigiau and along parts of the Cambrian Way and back to Pant station. There is 720m of climbing. Bring plenty of food and drink and suitable clothing. Weather at the time of writing is forecast to be mainly dry, but please check the forecast. I've measured the walk using OS maps online. VERY IMPORTANT, please book your train tickets (single ticket from Pant to Torpantau, 11am Sunday, visit www.bmr.wales (tickets £13).
