GW/SW-003 – Fan Brycheiniog

 GW/SW-003 – Fan Brycheiniog

31/08/2020

A cracking day with s2s possibilities…

A lovely day and I was heading towards Trecastle and my turning for my parking spot for Fan Brycheiniog. It’s 3.76 km (2.25 miles) to the summit with only one really boggy bit which was surprisingly dry today. I was treated to a fly past by two RAF helicopters…I couldn’t get my camera out soon enough to get a spectacular incoming shot. Radio was great with loads of contacts and summit to summits. Had some nice chats (socially distancing) with quite a few people on the way up and down.

My GPS track

My target for the day

Hazy view towards Peny Fan and Corn Du before I start

No cloud on top just 2.25 miles to walk

Fly past
