Great video. One of my favourite places. First expored these parts as a spotty teenager on my D of E. Now 59 years of age it still takes my breath away just as it did when I first saw it. A truly magical place. After all fairy stories only happen in lands far far away. This on the other hand is just on the other side of the mountain where I live, and very real. :)

Hey guys! If you take the Llanddeusant car park walk it's about an hour to the top of Llyn y Fan Fach and the next lake Llyn y Fan Fawr is about an hour from there at a leisurely walk taking in Picws Ddu etc. You'll do it all in day of good weather! 👍

Hi Daniel depends on your pace I’d say. Leisurely to the first lake an hour, my speedy full route pace probably around 4 hours but over 5 if you want a chilled day with stops and over 6 if you want to do the crash site as well.

Hey you'll love it! Can be as long or as short as u like. You can just do the one lake in an hour or so or work your way around the other Carnarthenshire fans and second lake in a good 4 hours or so. If you want to do the crash site as well I'd say set off at first light and expect to be out till sunset. Hope that helps
