Like a beautiful woman this mountain will seduce you. Pen y Fan is a stunning mountain and it is also the highest in South Wales. But beware she is not only beautiful but hard, the military use this mountain for training! Bring proper walking boots, water, water proofs, a camera, a flask of something hot, flapjacks and check the weather before you leave. Choose a clear day if you can and snap away. I love walking the horseshoe ridge, getting red in the face scrambling on the way up and then sitting triumphant at the top with a well earned flask of tea. Tip: Do not attempt to climb Pen y Fan in bad weather, there are big drops that can be hidden in the clouds. Tip top: According to my outdoor instructor fella, from sea level to the top of Pen y Fan there is a 9 degree difference. Translated that means wrap up warm even if you feel warm before you set off!
