Wild camping on Cribyn in the Brecon Beacons, Wales, below Pen-y-Fan. This, to me, is the most spectacular location for a wild camp in South Wales, with a huge 1,500ft drop to the valley below. On this trip I took my son and my nephew for his first wild camp! I used the Hilleberg Soulo, and we had the Fjallraven Abisko Lite 1. But for Ed I packed the wrong tent! Instead of a nice Jack Wolfskin Gossamer 2 I packed a 19 year old Vango!
We had a sunset, a sunrise and a lovely trip to watch sunset from the summit. A beautiful part of Wales that I recommend to anyone. Please do leave a comment or like and subscribe, it means a lot to me.
📍 Highlights:
Scenic hike past the two disused Nuadd reservoirs up the Roman Road
Finding the ledge on Cribyn just before others got there!
Wild camping with stunning views to the North and Pen-y-Fan to the West
Post dinner climb to Cribyn
Morning views and hike down
