Completion is dependent on a mixture of fitness, stamina and determination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a rough guide we recommend vigorous exercise at least 3 times per week for as long as possible prior to the event. Walk briskly on the hilliest routes you can find, such that you are regularly out of breath. Improve your stamina by including a long weekly walk, building up to 15 miles or more. Improve your cardio by walking your shorter walks as fast as you can.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJogging uphill is a really good way to replicate the cardiovascular strain needed for ascents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStrength and condition exercise, such as weight training or Pilates are beneficial for working on your leg power and core strength.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinally and most importantly\u003c\/strong\u003e, make sure you take it easy during the last week running up to the event.

It was begun when Holman Hunt was in his early twenties, and took a number of years to complete. Part of the reason for this was his desire to perfect the dawn, and he did not feel able to do this until his travels in the Middle East took him to Bethlehem where he saw the perfect sunrise. A larger replica, painted by Holman Hunt when he was nearly 70, hangs in St Paul’s Cathedral, London. The colouring and details of the replica are not so exact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe painting was given to the College by Mrs Martha Combe, who with her husband, was a great patron of the Oxford Movement and admirer of the Pre-Raphaelites. The Combes funded the building of St Barnabas, Jericho, and the patronage was given to Keble.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are two lights shown in the picture. The lantern is the light of conscience and the light around the head is the light of salvation with the door representing the human soul, which cannot be opened from the outside. There is no handle on the door, and the rusty nails and hinges overgrown with ivy denote that the door has never been opened and that the figure of Christ is asking for permission to enter. The bright light over the figure is the morning star, the dawn of the new day, and the autumn weeds and fallen fruit represent the autumn of life. The writing under the picture, which is rather hard to read, is taken from Revelation 3 ‘Behold I stand at the door and knock. If any man hear my voice and open the door I will come in to him and will sup with him and he with me.’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFounded in 1860 as the centre for scientific study at the University of Oxford, the Museum of Natural History holds the University’s internationally significant collections of geological and zoological specimens.

The Turf Tavern (or just \"the Turf\") is a historic pub in central Oxford, England. Its foundations and use as a malt house and drinking tavern date back to 1381.[citation needed] The low-beamed front bar area was put in place sometime in the 17th century. It was originally called the Spotted Cow but the name was changed in 1842, likely as part of an effort to extinguish its reputation as a venue for illegal gambling activities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRunning along one side of the pub is one of the remaining sections of the old city wall. Due to the illegal activities of many of its original patrons, the Turf sprang up in an area just outside the city wall in order to escape the jurisdiction of the governing bodies of the local colleges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Turf Tavern is also where future Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke set a Guinness World Record for consuming a yard glass of ale in 11 seconds in 1954.[4] Other public figures who have dined or drunk at the tavern include Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, Tony Blair, CS Lewis, Stephen Hawking and Margaret Thatcher.[5] It also served as a hangout for the cast and crew of the Harry Potter movies while the nearby colleges were used as locations throughout the filming of the series.[citation needed] The Turf Tavern also claims to be the location where future American president Bill Clinton, while a student at University College, Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, famously smoked \"but did not inhale\" marijuana.

Not least because, if you’ve already visited the other two, the first thing you notice is Cadair’s complete absence of crowds. Thanks to being much less well know, far fewer people make for its 893m summit.

Walk briskly on the hilliest routes you can find, such that you are regularly out of breath. Improve your stamina by including a long weekly walk, building up to 15 miles or more. Improve your cardio by walking your shorter walks as fast as you can.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJogging uphill is a really good way to replicate the cardiovascular strain needed for ascents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStrength and condition exercise, such as weight training or Pilates are beneficial for working on your leg power and core strength.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinally and most importantly\u003c\/strong\u003e, make sure you take it easy during the last week running up to the event.

You will consume body fat reserves, expel water and salts that need replacing to prevent muscle cramps, dehydration and fatigue. Hydration is the most important aspect of nutrition. It is essential to take on water in regular, small amounts throughout the walk. It is easy to underestimate how much you need and suffer dehydration, particularly in hot weather.  Each walker should carry a minimum of 3 litres of fluid; water and sugary drinks. It is important to bring plenty of high energy food and snacks as well as something substantial like a sandwich for lunch. You need to provide your own food and water for the duration of the Challenge. We expect to have several refreshment stops on the route, but best to prepare for the unexpected!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/5839\/files\/SummitJump.jpg?v=1705499706\" width=\"702\" height=\"298\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eFitness \u0026amp; Training\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Yorkshire Three Peaks is often underestimated. This is a tough walk that tests anyone to their physical and mental limit. It requires a significant level of fitness, stamina and determination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe level of training needed depends totally on what level of fitness you are starting from, but the biggest motivating factor to getting fit is undoubtedly to have a goal to work towards. So you have already taken the first step in targeting this challenge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the Yorkshire 3 Peaks it is extremely important to focus on both the distance and also the hill climbing fitness! This is a long 25 mile challenge, but there are also 3 big peaks to climb, which is where your fitness will be tested the most. You will ascend more height during the challenge than if you were climbing Ben Nevis or Snowdon twice!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a rough guide, we recommend vigorous exercise at least \u003cstrong\u003e3 times per week\u003c\/strong\u003e for as long as possible in the build up to the event. So get started ASAP! You may wish to concentrate on shorter, faster walks\/runs in the week and a longer, steadier walk covering more miles at the weekend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCardio:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImprove your cardiovascular fitness by walking your shorter walks as fast as you can. Jogging uphill is an even better way to improve cardio. Walk briskly on the hilliest routes you can find, such that you are regularly out of breath. Depending on your starting fitness, you may wish to start around 30 mins twice a week and increase this until you are going for over an hour or for as long as time allows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStamina:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInclude a long weekly walk, \u003cstrong\u003ebuilding up to at least 18 miles or more\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is a LONG walking challenge, so make sure you build time on your feet. For example, to reach this goal start with a weekend 5 mile walk. Add 1 mile each week and after 13 weeks (3 months) you will find you have made it to 18 miles. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTry to make these long walks as hilly as you can. Visiting mountains such as Snowdon, Scafell Pike or Kinder Scout (Peak District) are great ways to make your training more interesting, prepare you for the rough terrain and give you intermediary goals to help motivate you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEquipment and Nutrition Test:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFailing to do this is one of the major reasons people fail this challenge!\u003c\/strong\u003e Make sure you check our \u003cspan style=\"color: #0000ff;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/getoutdoorsuk.org\/pages\/kit-list\" style=\"color: #0000ff;\"\u003eKit List\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e for anything you may need, but even more importantly\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003etry out all of the kit and food you are planning to use on these long walks. You don't want new boots giving you blisters on the day, so make sure they are well worn in. You want to make sure you've worked out and adjusted to the most comfortable position for your rucksack. You need to try out all of the food and drink you plan to use, so you can make sure you won't have any adverse reactions on the big day. If you plan to use walking poles, they take some getting used to, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStrength and Condition Exercise:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrength and condition exercise, such as weight training or Pilates are beneficial for working on your leg power and core strength, but do not be overly reliant on this type of exercise, you need to get out there and cover hilly distances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTaper Time: \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMake sure you reduce your training and take it easier for the 2 weeks running up to the event. It takes roughly this long for your muscles to recover and grow to have any benefit from training. So anything you do in the last 2 weeks should just be aimed at keeping things ticking over rather than thinking you can improve your fitness at the last minute. You are much better getting to the start of the challenge with fresh legs ready to go rather than over worked tired ones full of lactic acid. Also make sure you sleep, eat and drink well in the build up. It's time to rest, carbo load, hydrate and be ready!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConclusion \u0026amp; Get Outdoors Training Walks: \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fitter you are the more enjoyable the challenge.

Walk briskly on the hilliest routes you can find, such that you are regularly out of breath. Improve your stamina by including a long weekly walk, building up to 15 miles or more. Improve your cardio by walking your shorter walks as fast as you can.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJogging uphill is a really good way to replicate the cardiovascular strain needed for ascents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStrength and condition exercise, such as weight training or Pilates are beneficial for working on your leg power and core strength.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinally and most importantly\u003c\/strong\u003e, make sure you take it easy during the last week running up to the event.

Walk briskly on the hilliest routes you can find, such that you are regularly out of breath. Improve your stamina by including a long weekly walk, building up to 15 miles or more. Improve your cardio by walking your shorter walks as fast as you can.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJogging uphill is a really good way to replicate the cardiovascular strain needed for ascents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStrength and condition exercise, such as weight training or Pilates are beneficial for working on your leg power and core strength.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinally and most importantly\u003c\/strong\u003e, make sure you take it easy during the last week running up to the event. It takes more than 7 days for muscles to recover, rebuild and benefit from any exercise you do. All top athletes do it - 'Tapering off' is your opportunity to exercise lightly and make sure you do not arrive with a build up of lactic acid in your legs that will slow you down during the challenge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" height=\"466\" width=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/5839\/files\/dsc02621_1_orig.jpg?v=1732229926\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSign up for more walk info\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Like\" the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b00ff;\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"Facebook Group\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GetOutdoors.org\" style=\"color: #2b00ff;\"\u003eGet Outdoors Facebook Group\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand submit your email address below to receive information on future walks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJoin us for a hike in beautiful places like the Brecon Beacons, Cotswolds, Malverns, Chilterns, Oxford...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect way to start your training for a challenge like the \u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e3 Peaks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eor simply to get out into the countryside, while being sociable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rating - Strenuous","offers":[{"title":"Walk only","offer_id":54839848468860,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/5839\/files\/Bamford-Egde-route-1-View-Of-Ladybower-Reservoir-930x620.jpg?v=1732319056"},{"product_id":"pen-y-fan-the-seven-waterfalls-nr-brecon","title":"BANNAU BRYCHEINIOG (The Brecon Beacons) The Black Mountain - Llyn y Fan Fach: February 21st","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"7jn39\" data-offset-key=\"5rhl2-0-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"7jn39\" data-offset-key=\"5rhl2-0-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-offset-key=\"5rhl2-0-0\" class=\"_1mf _1mj\"\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\" data-offset-key=\"5rhl2-0-0\" class=\"_1mf _1mj\"\u003eThe Black Mountain\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\" data-offset-key=\"5rhl2-0-0\" class=\"_1mf _1mj\"\u003eLlyn y Fan Fach and Picws Du\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"7jn39\" data-offset-key=\"5rhl2-0-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-offset-key=\"5rhl2-0-0\" class=\"_1mf _1mj\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-offset-key=\"5rhl2-0-0\" class=\"_1mf _1mj\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe begin our walk at the car park in Llanddeusant below Llyn y Fan Fach, setting out across open ground rather than taking the more direct, well-trodden track to the lake. Instead, we keep to the west, following a gentle ridge that rises gradually towards the mountains. Almost immediately, we feel a sense of solitude, the vast landscape stretching in every direction with little sign of human presence. The ground beneath us is a mix of short grass and scattered rocks, shaped by the glaciers that once covered these hills. The Black Mountain range was carved by ice and water over thousands of years, leaving behind the dramatic escarpments and deep valleys we see today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContinuing our ascent, we gain height, and the towering cliffs of the glacier-shaped escarpment come more and more into view. The terrain gets steeper as we climb up to the sheer face of Fan Foel (the bald mountain). From here, the view opens up, revealing the wide sweep of the Black Mountain range to the west and the rolling ridges of the Brecon Beacons to the east. Beneath our feet, the reddish-brown sandstone tells a much older story—formed some 400 million years ago when this land lay in an ancient desert, crisscrossed by rivers that left behind layers of silt and sand. Over time, these rocks have been shaped by wind, water, and ice into the dramatic cliffs and valleys we see today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAtop Fan Foel, the highest point on this section of the ridge, a Bronze Age burial cairn stands as a silent witness to the past. Over 3,000 years ago, people climbed to this remote summit to lay their dead to rest beneath a mound of stones, perhaps believing the spirits of their ancestors would watch over the land from here. Even now, standing by the cairn, there is a sense of connection to those who walked these hills long before us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/5839\/files\/IMG_4718.jpg?v=1741787731\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Fan Foel, we follow the ridgeline to Picws Du, where the escarpment plunges steeply to the north. The contrast between the smooth, grassy slopes to the south and the sheer cliffs to the north is striking—a result of millennia of erosion shaping the land. The summit offers a perfect vantage point, with Llyn y Fan Fach glinting far below, its dark waters still and silent, tucked beneath the towering cliffs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lake, formed in a hollow left by retreating ice, has long captured the imagination of those who pass this way. According to legend, this is the home of the Lady of the Lake, a mystical fairy woman who emerged from the waters to marry a local farmer. She set three conditions for their marriage: he must never strike her three times. Inevitably, over the years, he did—though not in anger but through moments of misunderstanding. With the third blow, she returned to the lake, vanishing beneath its surface. Their children, however, remained and became the famed Physicians of Myddfai, healers whose knowledge of herbal medicine was passed down through generations. Some of their remedies were even recorded in medieval manuscripts, linking this remote place to a tradition of healing that endured for centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe follow the shape of the escarpment high above the lake to the west, admiring the steep and almost elegant green and red sheer face that reaches all the way down into the dark waters of the lake. Once we have circled to its western edge, we begin our descent towards the lake, leaving the ridge behind. Beyond the lake, the curve of a dam stands as a reminder of more recent history. Built in the 19th century, it was designed to regulate water flow for the tinplate works in Llanelli, part of the industrial expansion that once reshaped South Wales. Now, it sits quietly in the landscape, a small mark of human engineering against the ancient rocks that surround it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/5839\/files\/IMG_4732.jpg?v=1741787349\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe follow the shoreline of Llyn y Fan Fach, reflecting on the stories and history held in this landscape. We leave the lake behind and follow a quiet route along the base of the escarpment. Walking beneath the towering cliffs, we get a different perspective, looking up at the rock faces that have stood for thousands of years, their surfaces worn smooth in places and jagged in others where frost and time have broken them apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs we reach the foot of Fan Foel once more, we turn north as we continue our descent, with sweeping views of the remote upland bogs that mark the source of the River Usk, its waters beginning their long journey towards the sea. Beyond, in the distance, we can make out the Usk Reservoir nestled among the hills, and beyond it, the broad, rolling expanse of Mynydd Myddfai, a land of open moor and quiet solitude, where the famed Physicians of Myddfai are said to have lived. It is a fitting final view, a reminder of the vast and untamed beauty that defines this landscape. This final stretch takes us back down to the car park, carrying with us the echoes of those who have passed this way before—ancient settlers, medieval healers, and generations of walkers drawn to the wild beauty of these hills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"5rhl2-0-0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeet Instructions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTime: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e9:30am\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Llanddeusant*\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArrive: \u003c\/strong\u003eearly to secure a parking space.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWalk Distance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 miles (hilly)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eToilets:\u003c\/strong\u003e none **\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeader:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eIngrid\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b00ff;\"\u003e \u003ca style=\"color: #2b00ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/getoutdoorsuk.org\/pages\/our-leaders\"\u003emeet our leaders\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b00ff;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"7jn39\" data-offset-key=\"90ve2-0-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-offset-key=\"90ve2-0-0\" class=\"_1mf _1mj\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-offset-key=\"5rhl2-0-0\" class=\"_1mf _1mj\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*When you arrive, please assemble with the Get Outdoors team at the far end of the car park and check-in again at the finish.

The castle is open for tours certain times of the year, as well as being a wedding venue.

As well as the Lake District, he returned to use the Malvern Hills to prepare for his fateful ascent of Everest in 1924 with Andrew Irvine - it is still debated as to whether they made it to the summit at Mallory's 3rd attempt.

The castle is open for tours certain times of the year, as well as being a wedding venue. We can see the 90ft grade 2 listed Eastnor Obelisk at the southern end of the hills, which was also built in 1812 to commemorate various distinguishes members of the Somers Cocks family.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2:30pm - Coffee \u0026amp; toilet stop\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaving dropped down to Sally's for our brief pitstop it's time to climb gradually back up the ridge and on to climb Black Hill, Pinnacle Hill and Jubilee Hill before dropping down again to cross the Wyche Cutting, a mountain pass through the hills used in prehistoric times as part of the salt route from Droitwich to South Wales.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4:00pm - Snack \u0026amp; toilet stop\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe follow the steps of George Mallory, the English mountaineer who took part in the first 3 British expeditions to Everest.

As well as the Lake District, he returned to use the Malvern Hills to prepare for his fateful ascent of Everest in 1924 with Andrew Irvine - it is still debated as to whether they made it to the summit at Mallory's 3rd attempt.

Seasonal visitors include sand martins and swallows, and during migration periods, species such as common sandpipers and Eurasian oystercatchers can be seen. This is also one of the last breeding sites of the curlew in South Wales – in spring, its haunting call echoes over the water.

If the weather is kind, we’ll start from the northern shore and enjoy a picnic lunch instead. The route itself remains the same.

Instead, we keep to the west, following a gentle ridge that rises gradually towards the mountains. Almost immediately, we feel a sense of solitude, the vast landscape stretching in every direction with little sign of human presence. The ground beneath us is a mix of short grass and scattered rocks, shaped by the glaciers that once covered these hills. The Black Mountain range was carved by ice and water over thousands of years, leaving behind the dramatic escarpments and deep valleys we see today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContinuing our ascent, we gain height, and the towering cliffs of the glacier-shaped escarpment come more and more into view. The terrain gets steeper as we climb up to the sheer face of Fan Foel (the bald mountain). From here, the view opens up, revealing the wide sweep of the Black Mountain range to the west and the rolling ridges of the Brecon Beacons to the east. Beneath our feet, the reddish-brown sandstone tells a much older story—formed some 400 million years ago when this land lay in an ancient desert, crisscrossed by rivers that left behind layers of silt and sand. Over time, these rocks have been shaped by wind, water, and ice into the dramatic cliffs and valleys we see today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAtop Fan Foel, the highest point on this section of the ridge, a Bronze Age burial cairn stands as a silent witness to the past. Over 3,000 years ago, people climbed to this remote summit to lay their dead to rest beneath a mound of stones, perhaps believing the spirits of their ancestors would watch over the land from here. Even now, standing by the cairn, there is a sense of connection to those who walked these hills long before us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/5839\/files\/IMG_4718.jpg?v=1741787731\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Fan Foel, we follow the ridgeline to Picws Du, where the escarpment plunges steeply to the north. The contrast between the smooth, grassy slopes to the south and the sheer cliffs to the north is striking—a result of millennia of erosion shaping the land. The summit offers a perfect vantage point, with Llyn y Fan Fach glinting far below, its dark waters still and silent, tucked beneath the towering cliffs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lake, formed in a hollow left by retreating ice, has long captured the imagination of those who pass this way. According to legend, this is the home of the Lady of the Lake, a mystical fairy woman who emerged from the waters to marry a local farmer. She set three conditions for their marriage: he must never strike her three times. Inevitably, over the years, he did—though not in anger but through moments of misunderstanding. With the third blow, she returned to the lake, vanishing beneath its surface. Their children, however, remained and became the famed Physicians of Myddfai, healers whose knowledge of herbal medicine was passed down through generations. Some of their remedies were even recorded in medieval manuscripts, linking this remote place to a tradition of healing that endured for centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe follow the shape of the escarpment high above the lake to the west, admiring the steep and almost elegant green and red sheer face that reaches all the way down into the dark waters of the lake. Once we have circled to its western edge, we begin our descent towards the lake, leaving the ridge behind. Beyond the lake, the curve of a dam stands as a reminder of more recent history. Built in the 19th century, it was designed to regulate water flow for the tinplate works in Llanelli, part of the industrial expansion that once reshaped South Wales. Now, it sits quietly in the landscape, a small mark of human engineering against the ancient rocks that surround it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/5839\/files\/IMG_4732.jpg?v=1741787349\"\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe follow the shoreline of Llyn y Fan Fach, reflecting on the stories and history held in this landscape. We leave the lake behind and follow a quiet route along the base of the escarpment. Walking beneath the towering cliffs, we get a different perspective, looking up at the rock faces that have stood for thousands of years, their surfaces worn smooth in places and jagged in others where frost and time have broken them apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs we reach the foot of Fan Foel once more, we turn north as we continue our descent, with sweeping views of the remote upland bogs that mark the source of the River Usk, its waters beginning their long journey towards the sea. Beyond, in the distance, we can make out the Usk Reservoir nestled among the hills, and beyond it, the broad, rolling expanse of Mynydd Myddfai, a land of open moor and quiet solitude, where the famed Physicians of Myddfai are said to have lived. It is a fitting final view, a reminder of the vast and untamed beauty that defines this landscape.

From here, we step into a world shaped by fire, ice, and time itself. The vast sandstone escarpment ahead, part of the Old Red Sandstone formations that define much of the Bannau Brycheiniog \/ Brecon Beacons, tells the story of a landscape that was once a scorching floodplain over 350 million years ago. Over time, glaciers sculpted these sheer cliffs and deep cwms, leaving behind a dramatic wilderness of craggy ridges, glacial lakes, and sweeping moorland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe begin by following the lower trail, where the towering rock faces of Fan Hir loom to our left. As we move along the valley floor, wild ponies graze on the open slopes, their hardy ancestors having roamed these hills for centuries. In spring and summer, the air is alive with the calls of skylarks, their spiraling songs filling the wide sky above us. Among the tufts of moorland grass, we might catch a flash of movement—a wheatear flitting between rocks or a meadow pipit hopping through the heather. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore us lies Llyn y Fan Fawr - literally \"the lake of the large summit” which is referring to Fan Brycheiniog, the peak that towers above it. Fan Brycheiniog is the highest peak in the Black Mountain range, named after the legendary 5th-century prince Brychan who ruled this region and to who’s kingdom we still refer today when we talk about the Bannau Brycheiniog - Brychan’s Mountains. Llyn y Fan Fawr is a vast glacial lake cradled beneath these cliffs, its dark waters reflecting the shifting sky. This is a place of stillness, where the wind whispers through the grass and the water laps gently at the shore. In summer, bog cotton dances in the breeze, and if we’re lucky, we may glimpse a dipper bobbing along the shoreline, searching for food beneath the water’s surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e We continue on lower ground, skirting beneath the cliffs until we reach the foot of Fan Foel (the bald summit), where we beginn to climb up steadily. A Bronze Age burial cairn welcomes us to the summit —a quiet monument to the people who once roamed these hills some 4,000 years ago. Standing at this ancient site, it’s easy to imagine how these peaks might have been seen as sacred, their towering presence dominating the surrounding lands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo the west we can see the shimmering dark of a second glacial lake in the distance: Llyn y Fan Fach - literally “the lake of the small summit”  - which is the smaller of the two lakes, but even more famous due to the ancient legends connected with it: some say Llyn y Fan Fach was home to the Lady of the Lake, a fairy who in ancient times emerged from its waters to marry a local shepherd, giving rise to one of Wales' most loved folk tales. Her children were said to become the great physicians of Myddfai, known for their herbal wisdom, some of which is still referenced in Welsh traditions today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom here we begin our ascent onto the high ridge, climbing steadily toward Fan Brycheiniog. The landscape here feels ancient and untouched—wide, open skies, windswept ridges, and a sense of isolation that makes this part of Wales truly special. The path follows the ridge over Fan Hir (the long summit), where we tread carefully among patches of bilberry and cloudberry, both thriving in these high-altitude conditions. On quieter days, we may hear the haunting call of a golden plover echoing across the moors, a bird that thrives in these upland habitats.The path follows the crest of the escarpment, where the sheer drop of Fan Hir falls away beside us, a thrilling and exposed ridge walk. Often we may spot red kites, ravens or peregrine falcons below us, riding the thermals along the escarpment edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur final descent leads us back down toward Tafarn y Garreg, where the inviting warmth or the sunny beer garden of the pub awaits.

We are surrounded by rolling moorland and the towering presence of Pen-y-Fan, the highest peak in South Wales, often capped in mist or bathed in golden light. As we continue, the route takes us through heather and rugged slopes, with sheep grazing on the undulating terrain. Small streams tumble down from the hills, feeding into the young River Taff, which begins its journey south.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistorically, the trail follows routes once used by Welsh drovers, it later formed part of the old turnpike road connecting Merthyr Tydfil to Brecon, and later again was used by the Brecon \u0026amp; Merthyr Railway, which transported coal and iron from the South Wales Valleys. The path descends through open hillsides, where the landscape feels vast and wild, with sweeping views stretching across the central Beacons range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeaving the Taff Trail, we ascend into the dramatic landscape of Craig Cerrig Gleisiad National Nature Reserve, a hidden gem of the Brecon Beacons. This rugged glacial cwm is flanked by towering cliffs, with craggy outcrops and steep scree slopes shaped by Ice Age glaciers. The area is rich in rare alpine plants and a haven for peregrine falcons, which can sometimes be seen soaring overhead. As we climb higher towards Fan Frynych (629m), the view expands dramatically—southwards over the Taff Valley and eastwards towards the Black Mountains. On a clear day, we may even glimpse the Bristol Channel in the far distance. The summit itself offers a wild, windswept plateau, perfect for taking in the untamed beauty of this less-travelled corner of the Beacons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" height=\"525\" width=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/5839\/files\/IMG_7874.jpg?v=1738836899\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Fan Frynych the descent offers far-reaching views over the Usk Valley, the market town of Brecon, and the distant hills of Mid Wales. The path leads across open moorland and grassy plateaus, with Pen y Fan and Corn Du dominating the eastern horizon. This area is part of the Fforest Fawr Geopark, rich in geological history, where ancient rocks reveal stories of Wales’ prehistoric past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs we near the Brecon Beacons Mountain Centre, we cross the Mynydd Illtyd Common, an area named after Saint Iltyd, a 5th-century hermit and founder of a famous monastic community.

The reedbeds and nutrient-rich waters create an ideal habitat for many birds. You might spot great crested grebes, reed warblers, and coots, while red kites and ospreys often soar above. Seasonal visitors include sand martins and swallows, and during migration periods, species such as common sandpipers and Eurasian oystercatchers can be seen. This is also one of the last breeding sites of the curlew in South Wales – in spring, its haunting call echoes over the water. With a little luck, you might even catch sight of an otter along the shoreline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe starting point of our walk depends on the day of the week and the weather forecast. Beginning on the southern shore of the lake allows for a mid-walk lunch break in Llangorse – a pub lunch is possible on Saturdays, while on other days a small café near the lakeshore offers a weatherproof alternative. If the weather is kind, we’ll start from the northern shore and enjoy a picnic lunch instead. The route itself remains the same.

After about an hour’s walk, we’ll reach the foot of Mynydd Llangorse.\u003cbr\u003eWe’ll take it slow and easy on our way up – it’s a short climb of about 100 metres, taking around 10 to 15 minutes at a gentle pace.

Designated as a biological and geological Site of Special Scientific Interest and as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty by Natural England.

The castle is open for tours certain times of the year, as well as being a wedding venue.

As well as the Lake District, he returned to use the Malvern Hills to prepare for his fateful ascent of Everest in 1924 with Andrew Irvine - it is still debated as to whether they made it to the summit at Mallory's 3rd attempt.

From here, we step into a world shaped by fire, ice, and time itself. The vast sandstone escarpment ahead, part of the Old Red Sandstone formations that define much of the Bannau Brycheiniog \/ Brecon Beacons, tells the story of a landscape that was once a scorching floodplain over 350 million years ago. Over time, glaciers sculpted these sheer cliffs and deep cwms, leaving behind a dramatic wilderness of craggy ridges, glacial lakes, and sweeping moorland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe begin by following the lower trail, where the towering rock faces of Fan Hir loom to our left. As we move along the valley floor, wild ponies graze on the open slopes, their hardy ancestors having roamed these hills for centuries. In spring and summer, the air is alive with the calls of skylarks, their spiraling songs filling the wide sky above us. Among the tufts of moorland grass, we might catch a flash of movement—a wheatear flitting between rocks or a meadow pipit hopping through the heather. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore us lies Llyn y Fan Fawr - literally \"the lake of the large summit” which is referring to Fan Brycheiniog, the peak that towers above it. Fan Brycheiniog is the highest peak in the Black Mountain range, named after the legendary 5th-century prince Brychan who ruled this region and to who’s kingdom we still refer today when we talk about the Bannau Brycheiniog - Brychan’s Mountains. Llyn y Fan Fawr is a vast glacial lake cradled beneath these cliffs, its dark waters reflecting the shifting sky. This is a place of stillness, where the wind whispers through the grass and the water laps gently at the shore. In summer, bog cotton dances in the breeze, and if we’re lucky, we may glimpse a dipper bobbing along the shoreline, searching for food beneath the water’s surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e We continue on lower ground, skirting beneath the cliffs until we reach the foot of Fan Foel (the bald summit), where we beginn to climb up steadily. A Bronze Age burial cairn welcomes us to the summit —a quiet monument to the people who once roamed these hills some 4,000 years ago. Standing at this ancient site, it’s easy to imagine how these peaks might have been seen as sacred, their towering presence dominating the surrounding lands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo the west we can see the shimmering dark of a second glacial lake in the distance: Llyn y Fan Fach - literally “the lake of the small summit”  - which is the smaller of the two lakes, but even more famous due to the ancient legends connected with it: some say Llyn y Fan Fach was home to the Lady of the Lake, a fairy who in ancient times emerged from its waters to marry a local shepherd, giving rise to one of Wales' most loved folk tales. Her children were said to become the great physicians of Myddfai, known for their herbal wisdom, some of which is still referenced in Welsh traditions today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom here we begin our ascent onto the high ridge, climbing steadily toward Fan Brycheiniog. The landscape here feels ancient and untouched—wide, open skies, windswept ridges, and a sense of isolation that makes this part of Wales truly special. The path follows the ridge over Fan Hir (the long summit), where we tread carefully among patches of bilberry and cloudberry, both thriving in these high-altitude conditions. On quieter days, we may hear the haunting call of a golden plover echoing across the moors, a bird that thrives in these upland habitats.The path follows the crest of the escarpment, where the sheer drop of Fan Hir falls away beside us, a thrilling and exposed ridge walk. Often we may spot red kites, ravens or peregrine falcons below us, riding the thermals along the escarpment edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur final descent leads us back down toward Tafarn y Garreg, where the inviting warmth or the sunny beer garden of the pub awaits. After a day among prehistoric landscapes, soaring birds, and wild, untamed beauty, there’s no better way to end than with a well-earned drink, reflecting on the timeless magic of the Black Mountain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"5rhl2-0-0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeet Instructions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTime: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e9:30am\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tafarn-y-Garreg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArrive: \u003c\/strong\u003eearly to secure a parking space.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWalk Distance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 miles (hilly)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeader:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eIngrid\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b00ff;\"\u003e \u003ca style=\"color: #2b00ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/getoutdoorsuk.org\/pages\/our-leaders\"\u003emeet our leaders\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan data-offset-key=\"5rhl2-0-0\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"7jn39\" data-offset-key=\"90ve2-0-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-offset-key=\"90ve2-0-0\" class=\"_1mf _1mj\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-offset-key=\"5rhl2-0-0\" class=\"_1mf _1mj\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ac0bac;\"\u003eWe only regret opportunities we don't take\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ac0bac;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/getoutdoorsuk.org\/pages\/terms-conditions\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0000ff;\"\u003eBooking terms and conditions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ac0bac;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"498\" width=\"664\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/5839\/files\/IMG_3310_b18fccae-ca85-40de-83ce-14f81117167f.jpg?v=1758549307\"\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIMPORTANT INFO:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccommodation \u0026amp; Transport \u003c\/strong\u003eare not included as part of the event booking.

The reedbeds and nutrient-rich waters create an ideal habitat for many birds. You might spot great crested grebes, reed warblers, and coots, while red kites and ospreys often soar above. Seasonal visitors include sand martins and swallows, and during migration periods, species such as common sandpipers and Eurasian oystercatchers can be seen. This is also one of the last breeding sites of the curlew in South Wales – in spring, its haunting call echoes over the water. With a little luck, you might even catch sight of an otter along the shoreline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe starting point of our walk depends on the day of the week and the weather forecast. Beginning on the southern shore of the lake allows for a mid-walk lunch break in Llangorse – a pub lunch is possible on Saturdays, while on other days a small café near the lakeshore offers a weatherproof alternative. If the weather is kind, we’ll start from the northern shore and enjoy a picnic lunch instead. The route itself remains the same. The final decision will be made ca 48 hours before the walk, when the forecast is clearer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWalk Description for the start on the northern shore of Lake Llangorse\u003cbr\u003ePublic toilets (donations appreciated), a café, and a small shop are available at the car park.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter a look at the ancient crannog (a 9th-century artificial island) and a short introduction to its history, we’ll head off towards the village of Llangorse, passing through it and into a small nature reserve. From there, our path leads into fields and lush farmland. After about an hour’s walk, we’ll reach the foot of Mynydd Llangorse.\u003cbr\u003eWe’ll take it slow and easy on our way up – it’s a short climb of about 100 metres, taking around 10 to 15 minutes at a gentle pace. Soon we’ll reach a path that runs level along the mountainside, offering stunning views without too much further effort.

There is a tremendous water slide descending from Ben Nevis. We follow the main path up the glen into deciduous woodland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eAfter a few hundred metres the glen curves to the right and narrows, with the cliffs across the river giving some of the feel of an Alpine gorge. The path continues up the glen and soon emerges from the trees. The section of the more open glen ahead makes a tremendous view, with the green pastures of the valley floor surrounded by fine woodland backed by great mountains - with as centrepiece the great Steall Falls, a tremendous waterfall where a stream cascades four hundred feet down a broken cliff into the glen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eBearing right off the main path onto a smaller one heading for the steel-cable bridge. This consists of three cables - two for handrails. The brave will edge across it, high over the river, whilst it may also be possible to paddle across the shallows just upstream. Once across, we head left, pass a Steall Hut and continue into the woods to cross the burn on the rocks at the very base of the Steall falls. This may be easier on the flats just downstream if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eContinue around the base of the next buttress on boggy ground. Once beyond this we take the stalkers' path heading uphill. It soon reaches a section where a landslip has destroyed the old path, so we continue up steeply beside. There are great views back over the Steall Meadows. As we climb the path improves, eventually traversing right across the corrie, whereupon it continues uphill in a series of zigzags until heading to the right onto the shoulder of a grassy ridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFollowing the path we climb steeply southeast up this ridge. Above the steep section the ascent finally relents a little along a straightforward grassy section before the final pull up to the summit of An Gearanach. This is the first Munro of the day, at 982 metres, and has tremendous views both back to Ben Nevis and across to Sgùrr a' Mhaim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eWe continue along the ridge, which narrows to the dramatic, rocky arête of An Garbhanach. The traverse of this 'Top' is an airy, but fairly straightforward exposed scramble, reminiscent, but a little harder than the Càrn Mòr Dearg Arete of Ben Nevis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe scramble continues, as the ridge heads down to the next bealach. We clamber up to Stob Coire a' Chàirn; the scrambling is over for now, but the ridge steepens with some scree towards the top. The cairn is at 981 metres and is our 2nd Munro of the day providing great views, particularly of the Grey Corries and eastern Mamores.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eDescending the much easier, grassy southwest ridge, we traverse over a minor summit, before beginning the steep climb up to Am Bodach. This is rocky and a little loose, so care is needed with the mild scrambling on the ascent. Am Bodach (The Old Man) is 1032m high and our 3rd Munro of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eDescending the easier west ridge, we drop down to another bealach, before a straightforward climb up to Sgùrr an Iubhair. At 1001 metres, this was briefly a Munro between 1981 and 1997, a promotion and relegation in status that only the Scottish Mountaineering Club could explain! The route now turns north away from the main spine of the Mamores, following instead what has been named 'The Devil's Ridge'. It begins easily enough as it descends NNW to a wide bealach, before beginning the traverse of the 'Top' of Stob Coire a' Mhail. This is an excitingly exposed and narrow arete, mainly grassy with a path along the crest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eOn the descent from the top, there is one trickier section of ridge composed of shattered rocks, which we avoid by taking a bypass path, descending a little on the left, climbing back to the ridge just beyond. A short distance further the descent of a rock step is the final minor obstacle. This is most easily climbed down by starting on the right and descending it diagonally towards the left. Beyond, the ridge continues easily to Sgùrr a' Mhaim, the latter section being on the quartzite stones that give this mountain the appearance of being snow covered. There are great views back along the Devil's Ridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eSgùrr a' Mhaim is our 4th and final Munro of the day. It is position away from the main ridge making it a magnificent viewpoint. Stob Ban looks especially fine to the southwest. We avoid descending the northeast ridge towards Steall, as there is difficult and dangerous steep ground much lower down, which has been the scene of fatal accidents. Instead,  we folow the easier northwest ridge, down some shattered quartzite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe ridge becomes grassier lower down, but our descent is pretty unrelentingly steep.

The mountain is not in view from the car park but can be seen from the metal jetty on the loch shore. The ascent starts by heading through the information building (which has seasonal toilets). The excellent path climbs steadily through oak woods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eSoon the path reaches a track - go straight across and continue on path opposite. Cross a small bridge and soon there are the first views of part of Loch Lomond. The native forests are being regenerated here, after the removal of commercial plantations. Further up the route passes through a gate. The path becomes rockier in places.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003ePass through another gate to reach the open hill. By the 1990s this section of the path had been eroded until it formed a scar up to 25 metres wide, visible from Glasgow. The National Trust then began a program of repairs and the current, excellent path is only a couple of metres wide. The ascent continues; the views back over Loch Lomond and its islands are already stunning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe gradient eases slightly as the shoulder of the mountain is gained. The final summit cone of Ben Lomond is now in full view ahead and the path heads directly towards it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe ascent steepens once more in two great zig-zags up the final cone of the mountain. The view back over the islands in Loch Lomond becomes ever more impressive, and at the second switchback there is a first great view east over the Trossachs, with Loch Chon and Loch Àrd visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe path eventually reaches the rim of the very impressive eastern corrie which has been hidden until this point - a sudden moment of real mountain drama. The path keeps to the left of the cliff edge before making a final short rise to the summit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFrom the summit trig point there are stunning views in all directions, particularly of the southern end of Loch Lomond and its islands. It is rare to be alone at the top, as this is one of Scotland's favourite mountains, popular with visitors and locals including fell runners who make numerous ascents in a year. The easiest and most usual route back is to retrace your outward route, but there is a rougher alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFor the alternative, harder descent, take the rocky path NW, soon descending a very steep rocky slope. The route leads to a col before climbing south-west to Ptarmigan at 731m. From here the route follows the nobbly ridge for much of the descent with excellent views down Loch Lomond. Approximately half way down the ridge, the distinctive shape of the Cobbler comes into view alongside the other peaks of the Arrochar Alps on the far side of the Loch to the west. There is a clear path although it is narrow and rocky in places. The wettest areas have been improved with large stepping stones. About two-thirds of the way down the path leaves the true ridge to descend below crags and continue on a direct route towards Rowardennan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe path passes through a gate and descends more steeply. Before reaching some trees at the top of the woodland bear left to go through another gate and descend alongside the burn. After an open gateway there is a good view of a waterfall. Continue down through the woods until the road is reached. Turn left here and walk along the road passing behind the Youth Hostel. For the last section it is possible to take the path to the right along the shore. This passes a modern war memorial sculpture by Doug Cocker of Dundee.

Walk briskly on the hilliest routes you can find, such that you are regularly out of breath. Improve your stamina by including a long weekly walk, building up to 15 miles or more. Improve your cardio by walking your shorter walks as fast as you can.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJogging uphill is a really good way to replicate the cardiovascular strain needed for ascents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStrength and condition exercise, such as weight training or Pilates are beneficial for working on your leg power and core strength.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinally and most importantly\u003c\/strong\u003e, make sure you take it easy during the last week running up to the event.

There may be other hilly area near you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe level of training needed depends totally on where you're starting from. Completion is dependent on a mixture of fitness, stamina and determination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a rough guide we recommend vigorous exercise at least 3 times per week for as long as possible prior to the event. Walk briskly on the hilliest routes you can find, such that you are regularly out of breath. Improve your stamina by including a long weekly walk, building up to 15 miles or more. Improve your cardio by walking your shorter walks as fast as you can.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJogging uphill is a really good way to replicate the cardiovascular strain needed for ascents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStrength and condition exercise, such as weight training or Pilates are beneficial for working on your leg power and core strength.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinally and most importantly\u003c\/strong\u003e, make sure you take it easy during the last week running up to the event. It takes more than 7 days for muscles to recover, rebuild and benefit from any exercise you do.
