Pen Y Fan Horseshoe Hike

This time let's hike the Pen Y Fan Horseshoe, a more challenging but very rewarding 14 km hike on the south side of the mountains. It'll likely be bloody freezing, possibly snowy but also a fun challenge with beautiful views and good company. We'll make sure the weather is reasonable enough to go ahead so keep an eye on the page!
