SUMMARY:Walk: Fan Frynych/Fan Fawr Linear. 16km/10miles\, 830m/2725ft ascent (Moderate)
DESCRIPTION:Join Alex for this linear route graded moderate (16km/10miles\, 830m/2725ft ascent) which will traverse Fan Frynych and Fan Fawr in the Central Brecon Beacons. \nStarting at Storey Arms\, we will take the 09:23 T4 bus service towards Brecon. Alighting in Libanus we will make our way across Mynydd Illtyd Common\, passing by the National Park Visitor Centre to arrive at the foot of the northeast ridge of Fan Frynych. Ascending the ridge\, we reach the summit trig point of Fan Frynych. From here we can see the way forward towards Fan Fawr\, our next objective. With some rough ground across the moor above Craig Cerrig Gleisiad and Craig y Fro\, we will eventually make a steep ascent to arrive directly at the summit of Fan Fawr. After catching our breath we will turn and descend Cefn yr Henriw. This gently descending ridge meets eventually with the Beacons Way\,  which we will gain after a further short but steep section of rough ground. We turn left and make our way along the Beacons Way to the finish at Pont ar Daf and thence to our cars. \nStart 9:15am\, Bus stop\, Storey Arms\, A470\, Brecon direction. Arrive at the bus stop by 9:15am. Please bring bus fare (cash\, debit card\, bus pass). I believe the fare is £1 but don’t quote me on that. \nCar parking options: There are several places to park cars in the vicinity of Storey Arms: \n\nStorey Arms Car Park (small) opposite the Outdoor Centre. This is where the bus stop is located (SN982202). However\, this car park fills quickly on weekends. Be early and be prepared to park further away and walk for 15 minutes to the bus stop. Alternative parking can be found as follows:\nPont ar Daf Car Park. This is free for National Trust members provided you have your membership card with you. Otherwise\, £7.50\, card payments only\, no cash. The walk finishes here and the walk leader will be parking here.\nAt the large ‘Milestone (MS) layby‘\, some 500m west of Storey Arms. This is a good alternative to Pont ar Daf if you don’t want to pay. It will add 1.5km to your day.\nAlong the verges of the A470. We don’t recommend this option for safety reasons. The A470 here is a designated clearway so you must not obstruct the carriage way.\n\nFor your safety and the safety of other members\, we advise minimum personal equipment requirements for all our walks.
