Description

Starting at Craig-y-nos country park. Headed up onto Carreg Goch and then across Moorland to the summit of Fan Foel. From here we descended down the ridge to Fan Hir and back down to the road. Weather was overcast with a gentle breeze and light snow. Snow covered the moorland and gave us a good chance to practice winter navigation. Icy underfoot on the summits and ridge requiring ice axe and crampons

Area : Brecon Beacons

The Brecon Beacons (Welsh: Bannau Brycheiniog) is a mountain range in South Wales. In a narrow sense, the name refers to the range of Old Red Sandstone peaks popular with walkers which lie to the south of Brecon. Sometimes referred to as "the central Beacons" they include South Wales' highest mountain, Pen y Fan. The range forms the central section of the Brecon Beacons National Park (Parc Cenedlaethol Bannau Brycheiniog), a designation which also encompasses ranges both to the east and the west of "the central Beacons". This much wider area is also commonly referred to as "the Brecon Beacons".
