Llangenny Village - Pen Twyn - Sugar Loaf - Pen Twyn - Llangenny Village

Another walk while on holiday in the Brecon Beacons. We were staying in Crickhowell from where the Sugar Loaf was quite dominant on the horizon. I decided I had to climb Sugar Loaf before we departed. I drove to Llangenny - a small village with very very small lanes. I completed the walk during late afternoon. As I left the village the heavens opened and thundery rain fell. Thankfully it did not last too long and in fact the rest of the walk kept dry. The ascent on the road out of the village is quite steep. Once one arrives at Pen Twyn the road finishes and the walk continues across fields before ascending onto the flanks of the Sugar Loaf. The summit is very rocky to start with but the trig point comes into view quite quickly. The top is owned by the National Trust. For most of the time on the summit I was in the cloud. Although I only had glimpes of views I am sure this is a wonderful peak. On the way back down the skies darkened. At least I did not get wet again.
