Activity itinerary

This is a truly iconic Beacons day out and one that Andy is master of! Transport can sometimes be offered at no further charge. Please discuss prior to booking if you need a lift to attend :) Andy will guide you on a classic but lesser walked route to Pen y Fan's summit. 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. 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 own steep slopes on our bums. This is a truly hysterical experience! We'll explore Llyn Cwm Llwch and discuss its mysteries before heading up to the sad memorial of Tommy Jone 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. Please Note A reasonable level of fitness is required for all of our walks. As our walks are open to all, clients who are considerably slower than average will be asked at a suitable and safe point on the hike to head back to the start.
