866 metres, take a walk up South Wales' highest mountain in the Brecon Beacons (Bannau Brecheiniog). Pen-y-Fan is a firm favourite amongst walkers.

We will take the easiest route up from Pont ar Daf car park. It's a steady climb, which may be challenging for some depending on fitness levels, so be prepared for a tough walk. At the summit, you’re treated to incredible panoramic views of the surrounding Brecon Beacons IF it's a clear day (some days, you can't see much past your nose!!!).

As the weather can be very unpredictable in the mountains, there is a possibility that we may have to cancel the walk short notice (keep an eye out for an email from us).

• Difficulty: moderate-challenging
• Distance: 6km (return)
• Time: 3-4 hours of walking

ESSENTIAL

• Must have very good footwear with sturdy/grippy soles - walking boots is preferable.
• A good waterproof jacket.
• Warm clothes - it's always good to have multiple layers so that you can take some off if you get too warm.
• Plenty of food and drinks - having snacks at hand is also good to make sure you keep your energy levels up.

Get ACTIVE staff have the right to turn people away if they do not meet the 'Essentials' list.

Toilets and refershments are available at the car park.
