Here are the two peaks, viewed from the Brecon Beacons Mountain Centre at Libanus.
Mountain stream, just off the A470 a little south of Storey Arms - this is where you park up to begin the upward climb.
Destination sighted - Corn Du, with Pen-y-Fan hidden behind - this is zoomed in, it's a lot further than it looks!
Leaving the A470 far behind - and yet still so far to go
The Brecon Beacons are always glorious - so open and exposed
Onward and upward!
We've almost made it to Corn Du!
But we're skirting behind Corn Du for the present - heading for Pen-y-Fan, here pictured with Cribyn just beyond
The valley behind the mountains, with the Upper Neuadd Reservoir just in sight, the Blaen Taf Fechan feeding into it
The last push up to the top of Pen-y-Fan
The cairn on top of Pen-y-Fan
On top of Pen-y-Fan, looking back to Corn Du
Views from the top of Pen-y-Fan
Looking across the saddle to Cribyn
Heading back down and across to Corn Du
On Corn Du, looking across to Pen-y-Fan and Cribyn
Looking down toward Cwm Llyn Llwch
The Blaen Taf Fechan and Upper Neuadd Reservoir as seen from Corn Du
Looking north-west toward Libanus
Glider over Cwm Llyn Llwch
Up close and personal - glider over Corn Du
And then the long path back down again
What a beautiful day!
