Bannau Brycheiniog (the Brecon Beacons) 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".
First part of day was finishing up nav course with Bethan. We walked straight from Brecon YHA to Storey Arms Centre, via the Taff Route - a roman road. From the Storey Arms car park, I left them and headed up to pay a visit to Fan Fawr and from there, wandered down to the Beacons Way and cruised back to the hostel. A thoroughly enjoyable day with some good nav practice.
