Pen Y Fan, Brecon Beacons National Park

We walked up the Pen Y Fan in the Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales today. The Pen Y Fan is managed by the National Trust. It is the highest peak of the Beacons at 886 m and is also the highest peak in England and Wales south of Snowdonia National Park (Snowdon 1085 m). Its sister peak is Corn Du at 873 m on which we briefly stopped too.
Due to the low cloud we were unfortunate not to be able to enjoy the views, but we were able to have some fun in the snow despite the strong winds and cold temperatures. We used the very popular and easier south west ascent from the Storey Arms. Next time, I'd like to try the south east ascent from the Upper Neuadd Reservoir, so we'll be back...
