Brecon Beacons - April 2014

With the arrival of Spring, it felt like a good time to head off to the Brecon Beacons for a couple of days.  The mission would be to fly a glider from the summit of Pen-y-Fan (the highest mountain in southern England & Wales) and then explore the waterfalls in the heart of the National Park.
The only other time I've climbed Pen-y-Fan was from the south side; this time I would walk up from the north side.

Sweet little lamb and mother sheep.

Waterfalls along the Afon Mellte river.

The tall Sgwd yr Elra waterfall, which you can walk behind.
