The Beacons Way is a 100 mile linear walk that runs the length of the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park. The walk includes 16 summits including Pen y Fan, Fan y Big and Fan Brycheiniog. It passes through some wild and remote countryside with some tough terrain - it's definitely one of the more challenging hikes I've completed. It took me 6 days to complete the hike, but I would recommend to maybe do it in the eight stages over maybe 8 to 10 days. It's a beautiful walk, and it's one to take your time and enjoy - the 6 days I walked it in felt a little rushed, if I was to do it again I would do it in 8 days.
If you are interested in any of the gear that I have used on this hike, I have made a video of all the kit I've taken and links are available in the description on that video.
Also, below I have added two links to the route and a link to the guide book I read before setting off. The Ordnance Survey page contains a link to the entire Beacons Way walk - I used this route on my OS Maps App on my phone for the hike.
I hope you've enjoyed watching my journey,
Thanks for stopping by,
Ryan.

Wow, that was epic! Mother Nature really tested you on this hike. Glad you prevailed and succeeded! Good to know your wee mate Toby is on the mend. Thanks for taking us along and for the super video - you got some stunning footage there!

Thank you, Amanda, it was a great hike. I'm glad you enjoyed. Take it easy. ATB, Ryan. 🙂

Thanks, buddy, I really appreciate the positive comments. It's always windy up there, I don't think I've ever camped there and not got blown about 😂

A real challenge that one ,hope the soreness ( Bloody under statement ) has healed now . Enjoyed the video and stunning scenery , clapping hands on the editing . Great to see Toby at the end . Well done Sir ATVB Phil

Been looking forward to this & you didn't disappoint. Great to see so many familiar locations as you walked it and you certainly had your fair share of the weather on this hike. Sorry for you that Toby was not at your side I bet you was so glad to see him at the end. Have to say that if anyone is watching this with a view to walking it you did a great sell on the hike with your b-roll, some excellent footage that really gave the viewer a sense of what to expect. I was thrown a few times as to where you were so that made it even more interesting as I thought I knew the beacons very well. I would agree with you about the Black Mountains being your fave part of the parc - it is mine without a doubt. 6 Days is hell of a pace and I am not surprised you were feeling it in the legs and under the eyes.. but well done and thanks for sharing it with us - brill job. atb Al

@wildaboutwales Месяц назад

I thought I knew the Beacons pretty well too, I was surprised by some of the places I discovered, especially that stretch in Ystradfellte. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, Alan...thanks for the positive feedback. ATB, Ryan.

@thevalleywalker Месяц назад

@@wildaboutwales I have walked the Penwyllt to Ystradfellte route a few times & it really has a remote feel to it. There is a section in that area I want to explore but sadly unsure what my outings are going to be like in the near future - I was taken ill last weekend & for the foreseeable future I am unable to drive so getting out is going to be a problem.

@wildaboutwales Месяц назад

@@thevalleywalker I'm really sorry to hear that, Alan, I hope you're going to make a recovery and be able to get back out. I know how much you love the outdoors and how important it is for you to be outside. I'm going to camp that area as soon as the sun comes out, there's a few little chunks of history there I want to find.

Next morning sitting down with your cuppa as the wind was trying to send your tent up like a kite😂 you didn’t even blink. Good idea leaving half your food at the storey arms. Loved those little Whiskeys you had. Brilliant for your camp. Some beautiful views you shared. Shows people just how stunning Wales is. You did your mam proud, 50 mins video and not one swear word. I like that.👏👏👍 Thanks for sharing that. I'm hoping to do quite a few camps soon. Starting next month. Hope you celebrated when you got home with a nice meal and few drinks.👍

@MittenTrolls Месяц назад

What a hike! Thank you for taking us along, Ryan. You really pushed yourself to finish it. We're sorry you had to endure the pain alone. Many years ago we hiked a portion of the Appalachian Trail and going down was definitely much harder and more painful! You took us through some beautiful scenery though! The curious sheep and cows were so cute! So glad we got to see Toby at the end!

@thomasdilworth7691 Месяц назад

Well in, mate, that's a bit of an undertaking for sure. Shame about Toby not being with you for this, but glad he's on the mend. I've just completed a marathon viewing of the last 2 videos you put out and being a gear freak, it was good to see what you carry and make comparisons with my own kit. I tell you what, Dragon's Milk would be a great name for a Welsh whiskey, wouldn't it? Nice to see Carreg Cennen castle again, I haven't been there since I was a boy with a school trip for a project we did on Welsh castles, it truly is a spectacular location and I'm surprised it hasn't featured in more box office films! I know how you feel with the knee pain while descending. I invested in a walking staff from a company called Cold Steel and it really helps to support your weight in descent, it's a bit weighty but worth the extra weight just to help you off the hill! Great video again, mate, loving the content! Take care, mate, see you on the next one.👍

@wildaboutwales Месяц назад

Thanks, mate! I'm glad Toby didn't join me on that one, it would've been too much for him with the wind. It was a great hike, I really enjoyed it. Dragon's Milk would be a great name for a whisky, it was a bloody nice dram that. Me and Toby returned from a camp yesterday, the video will be up soon. Take it easy, Ryan.

@serkd37 Месяц назад

Loved every minute of this. You bagged those summits in good time. And I know what you mean when the old knees play up going down hill, what was your pack weight? Looked like you were quite light. Can I ask where the whiskey pouches come from, they look perfect for camps? Thanks for taking us along on this one. Serk

@wildaboutwales 29 дней назад

Thanks, Serk, glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for watching. Fully loaded with all of my food and water I was carrying around 16kilo. The whisky is from a company called Whisky Me...here's a link: whisky-me.com/

@wildaboutwales Месяц назад

Thanks, mate. I hope you get the chance to do it one day, it's a great walk. I looked at the whisky subscription, some great drams but a bit too expensive for me. I should've explained in the video, I started in the west, simply for the reason it's easier to get home from Abergavenny. I left my car at Llangadog and picked it up after the hike - a long drive for the missus, lol.

Another brilliant video, cheers Ry. Have you considered a garmin fenix for tracking distance/elevation/time, plus it will also be a good back up for maps/route. Also some poles for the descents maybe, black diamond carbon z coming in at 280g. Really look forward to each video, cracking stuff.

@wildaboutwales Месяц назад

Thank you, mate, glad you enjoyed! I tried poles years ago when I was having knee problems. I know they'd help, but I don't get along with them unfortunately. I usually use my Strava, but I could do with using something else that's not going to drain my phone battery, so I will definitely check the Garmin out. Always grateful for some good advice, it's much appreciated. ATB, Ryan.

@Johnnygee10 Месяц назад

Awesome video Ryan,👍Shame Toby wasn't able to go with you. Lots of familiar scenery for me 😎. As I was watching two thoughts come to mind. 🧐I think you could do with some hiking poles especially for down hill decents (not sure if you use them). And I know how you like your MSR tent, But a more robust 4 season tent to you give more pitching option not having to shelter from the winds so much. .Look forward to seeing you on a camp with Toby 😉

@wildaboutwales Месяц назад

Thanks, mate, glad you enjoyed. I know they can help, but I tried them years ago when I was having knee problems, but I just don't get along with them. I've got a couple of 4 season tents here, but they're way too heavy for hikes. I'm keeping my eye open for something more suitable and lightweight. The MSR is definitely no good in strong winds. I'll be heading out with Toby soon to camp in the spot I'd never come across in Ystradfellte, it looks great up there for a wild camp. Thanks for the advice, John. ATB, Ryan.

@Johnnygee10 Месяц назад

@@wildaboutwales Morning Ryan That spot in Ystradfelte area, Would that be Fan Nedd you thinking of? 👌 Tent wise I was thinking tearra nova northern light and if you had the treking poles to prop up the cross pole for extra stability. Could also work with your MSR?

You was up there with Badger camping and flying the drone. Toby showed up in your time lapse if I remember correctly. It's a great hike, mate, you'd really enjoy it. Just give yourself plenty of time to do it and take it as it comes. Sorry to hear you lost your best buddy, they make great companions for the outdoors, it's not the same without them is it.

It's a tiny but beautiful little village. Looking forward to your next wild camp.

Thanks, James, glad you enjoyed, mate. Yes, it was nice to rest up after this one, I had a good chill out for a couple of days.
