Pen Y Fan - Our foul weather route!

JustGiving - Sponsor me now!
Pen Y Fan seems to be our foul weather route!

The original plan was to do a 24km walk around Sugar Loaf and Ysgyryd Fawr but as you can see below the weather was just not suitable to take on such a long walk! Instead we chose to head up the tourist path from Pont ar Daf with options to do Corn Du, Pen Y Fan, and Cribyn depending on the weather. We evaluated the conditions at Bwlch Duwynt and decided just to head onto Pen Y Fan and head straight back down due to the gale force winds!

The total distance was 6.39km which took us 1hr36mins with a total ascent of 467m.
