Night Hike on Pen Y Fan

We will explore the grand mountains of South Wales during this experience as we journey Dorian will share stories and legends of Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons).

We will climb up onto Corn Du and watch the sunset from this excellent vantage point until darkness engulfs us. We will then head across to the highest mountain in South Wales, Pen Y Fan, to enjoy exceptional views that the dark skies reserve can provide.

Fingers crossed for a clear night as our location will provide an ideal vantage point to see the Milky Way, major constellations, bright nebulas and even meteor showers, a must for any star gazer!

On the summit of Pen Y Fan Dorian will help you orientate yourself by pointing out the major constellations. All you will need is your hiking gear including warm layers, a head torch and your camera to capture the night skies.

Dorian Thomas, your guide for the night is a fully qualified mountain leader, a Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) Dark Skies Ambassador and a member of the Dark Skies Board is ideal to look after you and also provide insight to the area.
