It descends to cross the Blaen Taf Fawr, where you have to ford the stream using stepping stones. This is one of the earliest forms of crossing bodies of water devised by humans. No specific hazards, but it’s still a ford and you’ll need to know what you’re doing, especially after heavy rainfall.

A water source to fill up your katadyn bottle if you're in need of water, make sure to boil it too for extra peace of mind. I used it for a cuppa of coffee once at the top and enjoyed the views 😀
