The Big Four Beacons Tops, plus a Diving Board, all in a classic linear walk. Meet at Talybont for a bus to the start at Pont ar Daf. Then up the tourist path to the windy gap at Bwlch Duwynt for a short climb to Corn Du, followed by a hop to Pen y Fan before dropping down Craig Cwm Sere and up the steep path to Cribyn. Then down to the Roman Road and the last climb to Fan y Big, followed by the magnificent Craig Cwmoergwm horseshoe. Then over Waun Rydd and steadily down to the Talybont reservoir via Carn Pica, we follow the Taff Trail into Talybont for well-earned refreshments.
