Explore the highest tops of the Black Mountain area including Fan Brycheiniog (802 meters) and the clear waters of Llyn y Fan Fach. The route passes a fresh water fish farm, forgotten quarries and sheepfolds, waterfalls, cairns and a bothy which is useful to us on a rainy day. This is an area with lots of myths and legends attached to its landmarks.
What To Expect
The full route which takes in both Lyn y Fan Fach and Llyn y Fan Fawr is 15km but can be shortened to 11km if the group decides to skip Llyn y Fan Fawr on the day. Whilst there is a coachload of people on top of Pen Y Fan this area gets a lot less traffic and the views are arguably better. On a clear day you can see across the Bristol channel to the south, over the central Beacons to the east and the tops of the Preseli Hills to the west. Mountain weather is unpredictable and we will do our best to make good decisions based on the weather forecast. In some circumstances we may have to postpone a walk if we feel the conditions will have an overarching effect on the outcome of the day. Firm walking boots with heal support and a good set of waterproofs is essential.
