Hidden Footpaths - Pen y Fan Summit Hiking Tour From Cardiff

Event Info

This is a truly iconic Beacons day out and one that Andy is master of! Andy will be guiding you on a classic but lesser walked route to Pen y Fan’s summit. Andy includes adventures throughout!

Following the Taff up to it’s source, this route we’ll have to ourselves, some may get wet feet so good boots a must and waterproof socks are a good investment. Then it’s the steep climb to Corn Du and onto Pen y Fan, taking in the views, seeking out the fossil beach, getting some fine instagram worthy snaps.

It’s then off-piste once again and we’ll have the mountain to ourselves as we hilariously slide down steep slopes on our bums. This is a truly hysterical experience! Old waterproof trousers are good here – Andy cannot be held responsible for wearing out your bum padding 😉 We’ll explore Llyn Cwm Llwch and discuss its mysteries before heading up to the sad memorial of Tommy Jones where Andy will relay the true facts of this case.

A final mountain, Yr Gyrn, is peak bagged as we descend to the start point.

Where
This is a small group tour from Cardiff. You’ll be returned to Cardiff too 😉
