Pen y Fan, Brecon Beacons

A beautiful walk up Pen y Fan, the highest peak in South Wales. Route finding is fairly easy, especially in clear weather, although there are some steep sections which make this a challenging hike. My route also incorporated the summits of Corn Du, Cribyn and Fan y Big, which are all nearby, but you could skip one or more of these if you don't feel up to the extra ascent!
