Today we did the classic Brecon Horseshoe but with a twist namely Fan Y Big! We started at Upper Neadd Reservoir, headed up to Twyn Mwyalchod before heading to Corn Du, Pen Y Fan and Cribyn. After descending from Cribyn to Bwlch Ar Y Fan the Horseshoe route normally heads back to the car park via the bridleway, but we decided that we had another peak in us so we headed up Fan Y Big before finding an alternative route down.
In total we hiked 14.2km with a total ascent of 811m which took us 4hrs 9mins.
