I've returned to the Incredible Pen y Fan in winter! I've hiked around the horseshoe ridge walk a few times but never in the snow or with a drone.
It's absolutely beautiful this time of year and is one of my favourite things to do in the Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales.
So, I decided to remake my video, this time with new hiking gear, more outdoor experience and my new drone to get some incredible shots of the giant horseshoe ridge path which lines the perimeter of the giant glacial bowls.
Explore Pen y Fan by drone with me on this snowy winter's day and see how amazing it is for yourself.
BTW, I MADE THIS INCREDIBLE BIT OF GEAR

Thoroughly enjoyed that one Russel. Although you cut it short you managed to get some fabulous shots and infuse yourself with them awesome Fan vibes. In severe winters people have ice climbed the North Face of Pen Y Fan for decades. There are some videos on youtube. Any way, this was a thrill. All the best. Mark

Great video! Nice to see quality footage of a route that I love, as a local (Merthyr). You summited Corn Du, then Pen y Fan, then Cribyn and you missed out Fan y Big due to time restrictions. The path that you mentioned that runs along the base of Fan y Big is the roman road (a path actually built by the romans) Just thought I'd add some other bits of knowledge just in case you or anyone didn't know. Love the vids, keep it up!

Looking at this video today 27 Feb 2020 you had it easy )). Today was blowing up to 40 MPH gusts and 4 foot of snow in places leading up to Corn Du and Pen Y Fan and beyond. I was testing out new boots and backpack.....and it was fantastic up there today!

Ahh haha thanks fella. Means a lot! Trust me mate, we’re still very restricted here. They cap the max altitude on drones in so many places. Quite lucky with this one. The general public are also quite wary of drones. I just try to stick to the rules as best I can. 👍 hope you’re good. Nice new videos coming from your channel lately dude.
