Overview

A strenuous walk with five good climbs and including the summits of the three highest peaks in South Wales. The walk starts at the Neuadd Reservoir Car Park and we climb onto Graig Fan Ddu Ridge. The horseshoe walk then ascends Corn Du, Pen y Fan, Cribyn and Fan y Big with stunning all round views (weather permitting of course). There will be morning and lunch breaks on the way and after climbing these peaks we descend back to the start point via Graig Cwmoergwm Ridge.
