Hiking
This segment from Cwm Gwdi car park to Pen Y Fan summit is an old military test route. The segment is from the gate at the upper car park to PYF summit. With a full combat load of 55lbs and your rifle the test time used to be 50mins. A practical alternative for hikers is to do it with a 10kg day sack in the same time. It is a real lung buster.

Start of the Cwm Gwdi route to Pen Y Fan. If you can get to PYF within 50 minutes with a full winter sack then you are a brutal hiker :-)

Fun way to get up Pen y Fan. The last section is pretty steep.
