This walk is in the past.
Walk starts from the layby just north of the Tafarn y Garreg pub, it ascends the east side of the valley, up past a disused quarry and railway, following an old tramway up towards Fan Gyhirych (725m) then a steep descent to the valley, just south of the Cray reservoir, then over an un-named summit at 562m, then down into the next valley, from there up past the lakes Lyn y Fan Fawr and Lyn Fan y Fach and onto the ridge that will lead all the way back via Black Mountain (802m), the views from this ridge are very good. The ridge eventually descends to the pub. 19 miles, 1800m of ascent. Bring lots of water (there are places to fill from streams), also bring sun cream, sun hat, sun glasses and some warm layers and plenty of food. When I know who is coming, I'll try to coordinate car sharing, so don't worry if you have no car.
