Description

Mountain Skills Day 2. Group of 6. left the car park at the information centre at the Neuadd Reservoir and planned to do the Neuadd Horse shoe route. Whilst on the summit of Pen Y Fan had very heavy snow fall and freezing rain decided to escape down the old roman road back towards the car park after the summit. The group did really well in some really harsh condition and all enjoyed the day and the final part of the course.

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".
