Brecon Beacons – Pen Y Fan Winter Sunrise

With clear skies forecasted for Saturday morning, and in need of a bit more exercise before heading off to the Lofoten Islands next week, I decided that catching one last sunrise on Pen Y Fan would be a good idea. So I set the alarm for 5:00 am and promised myself not to be lazy.
We left the car park just after 6:00 am for the short hike up the trail, and found ourselves to be the 2nd people on the mountain on Saturday morning. It had been fairly warm all week with lots of rain so I was surprised to find the summits still covered in snow. Wasn’t the most brilliant sunrise, but was still good to get in a short hike before breakfast…
