Description

Circular route taking in the high ridge and around both lakes. Started in the dark and had to amend route as a planned river crossing seemed too dangerous with the current water levels, easy navigation for first half using just map going into the cloud.
Dropped off high ground at Bwlch Giedd, and with no path back I contoured on the 600m line all the way back to an open stretch of ground which led downhill back to the vehicle.

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".
