This walk is in the past.

Walk starts from Pencelli and follows the Three Rivers Ride route round the north of the Brecons on lanes and tracks (no horse required), it then ascends via Corn Du, Pen y Fan, Crybin, Fan y Big, then follows a ridge route gradually downhill past Pen y Bryn back to the pub at Pencelli by the canal.
Bring plenty of food and drink, sun cream, sun hat, sun glasses, some warm gear and walking boots.

The walk has great views and over 1000m of climbing, I led it a few yrs ago.

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.
