PEN-Y-FAN in South Wales

CARNEDD LLYWELYN in Gwynedd, North Wales

Charged on February 25, 1959

Situated on the treacherous Dartmoor, this mountain presents quite a long hike but not a very steep climb. Apart from the marshes and frequent thick fogs that can descend without warning at any time, the only other hazard to note is that the route to this Holy Spot goes through a military firing range. Therefore, before attempting any climb, it is necessary to consult the time table of firing practice posted in public places in Okehampton.
