This is actually a nice segment that goes from Blaen y Glyn car park to the top of Fan Nedd. More than likely, this is the quickest route you can take to get some height in the Brecon Beacons. The route is quite steep, but you have some nice waterfalls to see to take your mind off things, and when you get to Fan Nedd, you are literally on a plateau where the walking gets much easier. This is the start of the walk to the Wellington Bomber War Memorial, too.

Bwlch y Ddwyallt is the name commonly applied to the high point of the plateau of Gwaun Cerrig Llwydion in the eastern part of the Brecon Beacons in south Wales. It is a top of the mountainside of Waun Rydd.
Walkers should take note that this route is a bit seasonal, as the river is tricky to cross when water levels are high in the spring/autumn.

Be careful of the rolling fog, comes in pretty quick and vision all but disappears
