Waterfalls Walk Saturday 24/05/2014
Again due to the poor weather we stayed low and decided to walk around the majority of Waterfalls south west of Brecon. This area is full of waterfalls and caves and you often see cavers and gorge walkers here. The camera got a bit wet so was stored in the rucksack after Sgwd Yr Eira waterfall!
The walk today was 17.1km long with a total ascent of 928m which took us 4hrs 25mins

Fan Y Big Sunday 25/05/2014
Not a fantastic day but we decided to do an old favourite up on to Fan Y Big from Pencelli. This route offers fantastic views of the Brecon Beacons range and the Black Mountains and is a must for anyone visiting the area. Sadly for us today there was low cloud but Pen Y Fan did uncover itself for a little while.
The hike was 19.2km long with a total ascent of 819m which took us 5hrs and 6mins.
