Llyn Y Fan Fach and Llyn Y Fan Fawr Circular Walk, Brecon Beacons

[@tonydanisz7015]

Just got back from doing this route with a mate. We camped over nigh at Lyn Y Fan Fawr and completed the circuit back to the car park about 2,00pm this afternoon. The scenery is totally epic! The walking is tough to get to Llyn Y Fan Fawr but easy to get back. Well worth the effort! Great Video! Highly recommend this hike to any keen walkers. :)

Doing this route on a 4 day trip to Bannau Brycheiniog in a few weeks, this was a great video for a bit of research! Cheers!

Did this walk over the summer, it was insanely beautiful

[@gregin8er]

I felt the same when I did it. Definitely one of the most scenic walks I’ve done.

while it's always good to plan your route in advance, this walk couldn't be any easier to follow. there's a very clear path all the way.

Your pronunciations of Welsh words is hilarious mate. Gave me a good chuckle. You reckon the trail could be done on a mountain bike? I saw a few parts that would need to be pushed in the vid, but what you reckon?

[@gregin8er]

I really should avoid all attempts at Welsh pronunciation 😂 I would say a lot could be done on a bike, the initial route up hill would be a tough push and coming down the steep rocks by the second lake would be hard work but the rest should be possible from what I remember.

@@gregin8er 🤣 there’s alien noises to an Englishman in our language mate. I had a northern girlfriend in the past who butchered many a place name, always hilarious. That’s what I was thinking about the track mate, thanks for the reply. I’ve been up llyn y fan fach a few times and to the top of the ridge of that lake, but I’ve never done the loop. As long as from llyn y fan fawr back to the first lake is sound, going down the ridge to the second would be the only tricky part. Cheers

@@gregin8er I’ll give you a few little tips for Welsh pronunciation. The Y is pronounced ugh and the F is pronounced V. The double L sound is made by putting the front of your tongue on the roof of your mouth behind your top teeth and just breathe out your mouth. The air will come out one side of your tongue and make the noise you’re looking for 🤣. The Y after the double L is pronounced like an I tho, just to confuse you a bit more. So Llyn is that noise with “in” attached after it. Good luck 😉
