Dale Tyler walked up on August 30th, 2017 [from/via/route] 6th peak on the Waun Fach horseshoe from Cwmdu to Crickhowell [weather] Mostly glorious, two short sharp showers at the beginning of the walk-enough convince me to reproof my jacket! - 19 mile walk followed by a well deserved pint and meal in Crickhowell. Sticky toffee pudding, mmmmm!
