    Hiking

    The gate here has been the local start point for the Pen Y Fan gate to summit test for a number of years. It is 3.1km from here to the summit with 450m of height gain. A good running time for it (one way) is 20 minutes and an up and down time within 40 is excellent. With a 7kg pack, if you can do it one way within 35min and down within an hour you can't complain.

    Hiking

    Pen y Fan is one of the most popular walks in Wales. When the weather is fine, the views are truly splendid. Mile upon mile of rolling hills disappear into the distance, fringed by eons-old sheer cliffs.
