Description

Another day spent in adverse weather conditions teaching routefinding skills and strategies to a group of 4 from Forest School in London, day one of their Gold DofE practice expedition. From Glyntawe Campsite (SN843165), we headed NE then SE to Penwyllt and then NE along the Beacons Way through the Ogof Ffynnon Ddu Nature Reserve to Blaen Nedd Isaf (where one group member fainted) and onwards to the campsite at Penllwyn Einon, in Ystradfellte.

Area : Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park

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".
