  WM - Brecon Beacons
The north-east face is the highest and most dramatic in the Beacons, but is perhaps marred by the lack of a lake at it's base.
Pen y Fan's worst feature is the number of visitors it attracts and the wide path, "the motorway" that they have created.
Barely noticeable as a summit, and possessing no name of it's own (instead taking the name of the moorland to the south-west), this is nothing more than a high point on the flat ridge stretching between Fan y Big and Waun Rydd.

You’ve surely seen classmates or fellow co-workers spin their promotional pens when they are bored or intently working on a project, but it is unlikely that you have ever encountered with the level of skill as the people shown in the video above.
Keep a promotional pen in your glove compartment at all times so that you will always have one on hand to sufficiently record the information needed for insurance purposes.

Simply install fans on top of various summits, tap off enough energy to keep a few home fires burning, and blow away the biting bugs into the bargain.

I was truly lost on just a few occasions.....firstly on Fan Hir, when I drifted too far south while looking for Llyn Y Fan Fawr and sound myself at the foot of the cliffs - still, I found the summit soon enough.
After painstakingly avoiding the ice on Pen Y Fan, Cribyn and Fan Y Big I relaxed a little on Waun Rhydd and, as punishment, slipped on a loose stone and cut my hand up - still, the hand was so frozen I didn't feel a thing.
Also, Pen Y Fan deserves a visit in clear weather, and the Sugarloaf is the kind of mountain you need to run up from all angles just to appreciate the superb shape and exhilarating final climb:

 SKIPTON WEB: Pen-y-ghent
Pen-y-ghent is one of the oldest names in the Pennines and a clue to the origin of the name may be gained by looking it up in the Atlas.
Pen usually means hill and y is the definite article 'the' so its name means the something hill although the order of words is different to the way it would be structured in English.
It is not unusual however for English hills to retain the word pen, which is why we have Penshaw Hill near Sunderland and Pendle Hill in Lancashire.
