Happy Hiker's took on Pen Y Fan, again!
After a couple of failed attempts at getting up Fan Y Big (π€), due to my fitness a few years back and then the weather in Feb, we achieved the summit and stood on/near enough to the diving board π
Then, slightly off the original plan, taking full advantage of the glorious weather, we achieved the full peak collection for this range π
Cribyn was super busy, but we got to watch this happy guy flying around enjoying the thermals that the steep slopes provided.
Pen Y Fan, provided much entertainment at the people queuing to take a photo at the top, we were happy to have a selfie off centre and crack on.
Corn Du, or Corned Beef as it has now been renamed was a lush last Up before the long flat to the final Trig (as is now tradition) and the suuuuper steep descent to the reservoir buildings and the car parks.
Unfortunately we missed out on meeting up with our other hiker (I should have remembered the poor signal issues), the car park was pretty rammed and, not wanting to get stuck in my little hatchback, we parked further down the road in the next car park - NOT USING A PASSING SPOT as a parking space, despite the common trend apparentlyπ
We had a glorious day, I've definitely caught the sun (as did at least one other π§π)
Happy soul this morning for sure π
Thanks gang!
On to the next!
