Pen-y-Van Hike






We walked Pen-y-van today and it was a glorious day, we were with Bryce and Grandma & Grandpa and Philip, and it finished with a cavery and a mcflurry... YUMMY .........
Pen y Fan is the highest peak in South Wales, situated in the Brecon Beacons National Park. At 886 metres (2,907 ft) above sea-level, it is also the highest peak in Britain south of the Snowdonia mountain range.
The summit lies on a ridge stretching from Talybont Reservoir in the east, to the A470. 500 m west lies the subsidiary top of Corn Du, beyond which the terrain descends gently towards the Storey Arms on the A470. To the east, the ridge drops steeply to the col connecting it to Cribyn, the next mountain along the ridge. From Corn Du, a gentle ridge descends south towards Merthyr Tydfil.

A view from Pen y Fan
Pen y Fan has claimed large numbers of casualties ranging from ill-prepared or inexperienced hill walkers and climbers to highly trained special forces troops who utilise the area as part of a special forces selection training area (See "Fan Dance"), due to rapidly changing weather conditions. Pen y Fan is sometimes called the "most dangerous peak in Wales".
The mountain is used by the military for training and selection processes.
Pen Y Fan is formed of strongly glaciated Old Red Sandstone.
