Nuttall Bagging in the Brecon Beacons

[Dan00001]

8.5 miles yesterday evening with a total ascent of 746m. Fan Frynych (629m)> Craig Cerrig-gleisiad (629m)> Fan Fawr (734m)> Y Gyrn (619m). I started from two miles North of Storey Arms and finished with a walk along an old drovers road which took me back to my starting place. The walk down from Y Gyrn was very off-piste, and very steep with a lot of bracken to navigate through.

I'll let the pics do the rest of the talking. hope you enjoy..

This ground to the West of Y Gyrn is STEEP. Photo's really do not do it justice.










Old Drover road to the right of the A470 if heading towards Brecon.

Brilliant walk, and thank you for sharing.

I have to say though; that looks like prime tick country among the bracken.

Thank you Toddy.

I've never had a tick in the Brecon Beacons. I did change out of shorts and in to walking trousers when I got to the bracken, though.

Looks lovely mate, thanks for sharing.

That one photo looks like the hand of God squishing someone naughty on Fan Fawr, like the Monty Python Foot of Cupid.
