Geocache Description:

Fan Fawr is one of a series of caches placed within the Ystradfellte Community in the Brecon Beacons. The series consists of ten caches plus, for anyone who finds all ten, a bonus cache.


The highest point in the Ystradfellte Community is 715 metres, at the trig point on the south-western flank of Fan Fawr.

From the trig point, you will be rewarded with fine views of Fan Llia, Fan Nedd, and Fan Gyhirych to the west. To the east, Corn Du and its long southern flank are visible above the summit of Fan Fawr.

If you begin your ascent from Storey Arms, you will undoubtedly notice that the main routes to the summit are severely eroded. Please keep your ecological footprint to a minimum, by staying on the main tracks. Alternatively, the walk up from Ystradfellte Reservoir is quite pleasant. Taking this route will also keep you within the boundary of the Ystradfellte Community!

You will find a number printed on the inside front cover of the log book. You will need to make a note of this number in order to find the bonus cache.
