Climbing Pen-y-Fan


The start of the walk.  You can't see me, but I'm sat in the car in the car park, reading a good book!  (Diana Gabaldon: "A Breath of Snow and Ashes") 


It was a steep and steady climb, but the views soon became worth the effort.

Not just one lake in the view, but three . . .


Looking towards Brecon.


Left over from the glacial period, a tarn nestles amongst the hills.


On a clear day, you can see forever . . .  Brecon town again.

This is truly the TOP!

I was very proud of my husband and daughter as it was quite a challenging climb with a bit of scrambling in places, and it was the 1970s since my husband was last up there!
