| Following the stream upwards |
I arrived at my chosen parking spot for the ascent of Fan Brycheiniog in sunshine, however the hills in the distance were still shrouded in cloud which occasional broke showing their true splendour. The first part of the hike is very pleasant, following a stream which cascades down over numerous waterfalls until we reach a broad marshy saddle. This saddle extends towards the tarn lake of Llyn y Fan Fawr, which now could be seen in the distance. The escarpment was still occasionally shrouded in mist. At the lake the path climbs quite steeply, but it is a well maintained path and posses no dificulties. Towards the top it branches Right towards the summit shelter and trig point. There were few people around so I set up in the shelter to make the most of the wind break and keep warm. HF conditions had much improved since the morning and a long run of contacts ensued. The sun also started to pop out and eventually all the cloud cleared away giving fantastic views and some welcome heat!
