A day trip to the Brecon Beacons. Many years since I last walked in this area. My route took me up from the main car park to Corn Du, Pen Y Fan, Cribyn and Fan y Big. Only 8 miles but a much tougher walk than usual with 3,000 ft ascent. A relatively dull day but fantastic views in all direction.
Good to see this was intact. On previous visits this was always broken - seems some object to the fact that Eagle Star could ever have owned a part of Wales.
Corn Du comes into view. It is a relatively easy walk up from the car park.
After about 40 minutes I was at the top of Corn Du looking down on the glaciated valley
