Llyn y Fan Fach

Wednesday: From Fan Brycheiniog turned west to continue to follow the Beacons Way along a impressively dramatic ridge line. In order I passed Fan Foel point, down to Bwlch Blaen Twrch saddle, up to Picws Du point, along Bannau Sir Gaer ridge above lake Llyn y Fan Fach. Fach means 'little', Fawr means 'Big'. This is the smaller of the 2 lakes.
