Fan Gyhirych & Fan Nedd

DATE : 20th June 2005









I had planned on camping on Fan Gyhirych overnight but with thunderstorms forecast I decided against this
and booked into a campsite instead . This is Fan Gyhirych later that evening struggling with some low cloud


The following morning the weather was much better , this is the start at the chimney


There's plenty of low cloud in the Afon Crai valley


Looking around there is plenty of low cloud in other areas too


The Cray Reservoir


An unusual feature at Fan Gyhirych's summit plateau


To the west is the Carmarthen Fan with Fan Hir's excellent ridge facing us


The Afon Tawe valley where I stayed last night in a local campsite


On Fan Gyhirych's sister hill , Fan Fraith


The superb eastern face of Fan Gyhirych


The view north east where there is plenty of cloud still about in the distance


The route across to Yr Allt


But our next port of call is to the south east , Fan Nedd


The Nedd Frachon valley seperating Fan Nedd from Fan Fraith


And in the opposite direction the Afon Senni valley seperating Fan Nedd from Yr Allt


Yr Allt
