A walk with Alma Aurea up Fan Brycheiniog. We might have done a longer route but the good weather forecast kept changing and in the end we started late (and nearly didn't go at all). We walked up the valley to Llyn y Fan Fawr with the cloud just about clearing off in front of us, some showers and wind. It cleared off the main summit just in time so we continued up and finally the sun came out, but only late afternoon! So we visited Fan Foel and then Fan Hir on a ridge descent, but Bannau Sir Gaer - Picws Du will have to wait for another day. Beautiful once it cleared. /Dmeltdiceburg22/10/2023

From road at 856223 followed marked track. Too many tracks. Kept north of marked route, maintaining height. Llyn y Fan Fawr tarn made the day with it's lofty companion for a backdrop. Bring your cossy, one feller swinmming. Made up the paved steps to Bwlch Giedd. Easy climb on to the trig and cairn. Great bag. With Tiárnan.Pete West02/06/2023
Parked at tafarn y gareg, across the road through beautiful path across footbridge, steep path up to ridge then follow ridge all the way to stone hut at summit of fan brecheinog then to twr y fan foel, down steepish path here back to ground level and follow path SE to Llyn y fan fawr, very long and rough path back to start with a couple of pretty waterfalls along the way, 5.5 hoursTribal2er30/05/2023
Ascended Gwter Goch to the summit ridge from Llyn y Fan Fach - slightly grassy & chossy but well protected and a steady push directly up the cliff. Walked round the ridge to Fan Hir, back to Waun Lefrith & bivvied on the west end above Llyn y Fan FachBarns15009/04/2023
