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".
Solo 'peak bagging' ascent of Craig y Llyn (600m) from Cwm-hwnt (226m), to the South of the Brecon Beacons NP. 9km. Forested peak was chosen for shade on a hot summer day. Some difficult to find, overgrown & under-used paths but otherwise a straightforward route. Great swim & lunch spot at Llyn Fach below crags - felt like I had the whole cirque to myself. Pub at Cwm-Hwnt closed down.
