Pen Y Fan Horseshoe Ridge Walk, Brecon Beacons, Wales

I had the chance to solo hike Pen Y Fan Horseshoe / Brecon Beacons Horseshoe for the first time and captured the views it has to offer. This incredible Pen Y Fan ridge walk hike is in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park, it is a circular 10 mile ridge walk that ascends four peaks, three of which are the highest peaks in South Wales. The trail I took starts you off at Neuadd Reservoir Carpark and follows a pretty steep climb up to the horseshoe ridge walk offering you hella views of the popular Brecon Beacons peaks. The trail I used only covers 3 peaks along the Pen Y Fan horseshoe ridge walk, but as an optional extra at the end, you can also go up Fan Y Big if you so desire.

    That's a good effort for a first hike. Film doesn't do it justice how steep some of the peaks in the Beacons are.

    You have a very pleasant voice :) I appreciate that you don't try to hide that the hike is tough going, but you still make it a positive experience. Beautiful scenery by the way.

    Wow one of the best video's I've watched on this area what a stunning place which you captured very well and what a stunning video. I was going to do this hike this year but decided to go to Scotland for a wild camp instead because the weather was better but I will still be doing this walk one day. I watched this before seeing how many subs you had and was thinking you must have thousands but was very shocked see you only have 102. I inch my videos was a professional as yours definitely a new sub from me😁👍

    Nice vid, a little correction, Corn Du or I have heard it called Corn DDU, whatever, you say Du to English! you should say sort of like Corn De, the Welsh U is pronounced more like an E but sometimes a little different, but e for now.

    Get yourself a pair of hiking poles. They help take some of the strain off your legs on the ascents and descents.

    I was about 14 years old at the top of Pen Y Fan and was approached by two middle-aged women whose golden retriever puppy had gone over the edge. I climbed down and traversed the face but it was in a bad way. It revived a bit after some water but couldn't walk and was too heavy for me to carry. I stayed with it for a couple of hours until it died. I built some stones over it.
