Brecon Beacons Wild Camp | Incredible Sunset & Sunrise from Cribyn & Pen-y-Fan with Drone Footage

A vlog of my Wild Camp from the summit of Cribyn (795 m) in the Central Brecon Beacons.
Although 100m lower than the neighbouring peak of Pen-y- Fan, which at 886m is the highest mountain in South Wales, I chose to Wild camp on Cribyn for the solitude (every man and his dog goes up Pen-y-fan for sunset and Sunrise) and because of the epic views you get looking back towards Pen-y-Fan.
After being treated to an incredible sunset I settled in for an hours sleep before awaking to photograph the Comet Neowise. A further two hours of sleep followed before waking to possibly one of the most striking and vibrant sunrises I have had the pleasure of witnessing.

When I was on the Brecon Beacons in 1969 the track you named 'the Gap' was called the 'Roman Road' which it was, Terrible all those people up there - fault of those people promoting walking up the 'Fan' a good thing to do. Your 'Motorway' used to be a narrow single track path, no bridge, you crossed on a scattered line of rocks and there was no one around except sheep.

Great video and stunning views I'm thinking about doing this at the end of April. How long did it take you to walk from the car park to where you pitched up😁👍

[@ohwhataknight]

It was less than an hour and a half I believe

[@Intotheoutdoors69]

[@ohwhataknight]
