Across the Brecon Beacons with A to Z Expeditions...
According to Wikipedia, The Brecon Beacons range, in its narrower sense comprises six main peaks: from west to east these are: Corn Du (873 m or 2864 feet), Pen y Fan, the highest peak (886 m or 2907 feet), Cribyn (795 m or 2608 feet), Fan y Big (719 m or 2359 feet), Bwlch y Ddwyallt (754 m or 2474 ft) and Waun Rydd (769 m or 2523 ft). These summits form a long ridge, and the sections joining the first four form a horseshoe shape around the head of the Taf Fechan river, which flows away to the south-east. So a West-to-East traverse of the range is no mean feat. Add a heavy bag and hot weather, and you have a bit of empathy with the guys who did their Gold Assessment there in August...
