Before heading home we decided to do a walk to Pen-y-Fan and check the footpath we had helped put in on the other side (volunteer work for the National Trust) was still in one peice! Heading out from Pont ar Daff car park we headed up towards Corn Duu which is a bit of a pull but we stopped to take a few photo's once the hail storm had passed, which left a light dusting of white on the mountain and some moody skys! We peeled off to the right before the last pull to Corn Duu and took the path around the contors and again before heading up to Pen-y-Fan we peeled off to the right along a small path which brings you out on to the path between Pen-y-Fan and Cribyn where we had helped put in a new footpath late last year which was still looking good and looked at how much more needs doing still as the path still needs doing higher up to help prevent further errosion of the mountain side.



(On the way up, Corn Ddu/Pen-y-Fan, Pen-y-Fan summit burial cairn)

We then headed up to the summit of Pen-y-Fan which although a bit windy had some great views. We then headed back down towards Corn Ddu and to it's summit before heading down to Storey Arms car park. When we reached the road we headed left back alongside the road to Pont ar Daff car park.

My Rating - Good
