What a cracking day!
The day started by meeting the Bridgwater College, Public Services Foundation Degree students at the Cannington Centre at 07.30 for the 2 hour drive to South Wales.
Our route up Pen y fan started from the Taf Fechan car park where we headed up to the dam of the Neuadd Reservoir before heading west up on to Criag Fan Ddu. The route took the shape of a horseshoe taking in the summits of Corn Du, Pen y Fan and Cribyn. Due to a late arrival at our start point caused by traffic issues we didn't quite have time to summit Fan y Big.
All the students performed really well in the final part of their hill walking assessment as part of their land based outdoor activities module. The aim of today being a mountain experience to finish the assessment, consolidating the skills they learned on Dartmoor with Gwilym and looking at their hill fitness and steep ground skills.
It has been an absolutely stunning blue sky day with a light breeze to keep us cool.
