We had some stunning winter light for this late December walk in Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) near to Sugar Loaf. The route starts at Bettws Car Park and heads up onto the ridge at Bryn Arw before heading back down via Pantygelli (refreshments available at The Crown) and finally heading north towards Sugar Loaf and back to the start point.
