LLYN Y FAN FAWR & FACH | Solo Circular Hike In Autumn | Brecon Beacons National Park

In this video I head to the western Beacons for my favourite hike in the Brecon Beacons - the Carmarthen Fans! Taking in the two beautiful glacial lakes of Llyn y Fan Fach & Llyn y Fan Fawr, along with the three peaks of Waun Lefrith, Picws Du & Fan Brycheiniog in the Black Mountain range of the Beacons - it's an absolute beauty of a circular day hike!

Great video - what amazing weather for it! I did pretty much the reverse of this route to start my year off (rounding Fawr then up and along, then round and back down by Fach), and totally agree - it’s a fantastic place; such massive landscape. Hats off to you too - because it was a challenging enough hike itself, without also going back and forth, up and down setting the camera to film yourself - sometimes at quite a distance too - very well done 😊

[@shefreelyroams]

Thanks Matt, lovely to hear that 😊 incredible conditions for October, couldn’t complain! Yes you’re right, it’s immense the landscape there - love it 😍 Cheers, it’s definitely a workout - hopefully worth it for the shots!

@@shefreelyroams you are welcome, you are inspiring me to clear my work diary and lose myself in these wonderful locations, fingers crossed the monsoon season passes quickly, although you do seem to have great insider knowledge for good weather 🤣

Fantastic video Christine. The views looking down to the Lake on your ascent are amazing and also the views of the peaks you are about to hike up. It looks a super day for it too.

Hi Christine, You did it again with the weather, I don’t think you mentioned when you filmed this, do I assume after Cribyn but before Babet? More wonderful scenery, and not another person in sight. Sorry to hear you have been unwell, hope it’s not the dastardly Covid? Cheers Graham

[@shefreelyroams]

Yes absolutely, couldn’t have asked for better conditions for October! Definitely before Babet & shortly before Cribyn actually, first one after illness! It was blissfully quiet later on in the day when the sun started setting, so lovely! & no luckily not Covid 😅 thanks again for tagging along Graham, pleased you enjoyed this one too 🫶🏻
