classmates have only visited Cardiff, I wanted to continue the tradition and take them up the idyllic Welsh mountain.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Saturday, March 12, we left a sunny Cardiff at 10.30am and drove an hour to the Brecon Beacons National Park.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The weather was a lot cooler than it had been in Cardiff and we instantly regretted not bringing warmer jackets, gloves, hats and scarfs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 886m, Pen y Fan translates to &#8220;the top peak&#8221; and there are several routes that you can take to reach the summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"879\" loading=\"lazy\"
