EPIC Pen y Fan Horseshoe Wild Camp in my NEW Terra Nova tent!

We went wild camping in the Brecon Beacons and also to take on the Pen y Fan Horseshoe. We love a backpacking challenge so we made the Pen y Fan hiking harder by taking in more than just the mountains of Big y Fan, Cribyn, Pen y Fan and Corn Du.

We found a great place to wild camp just below Pen y Fan at Llyn Cwm Llwch. The weather for our wild camping uk trip was perfect. Zero wind, no rain and lots of sun.

Our first days hiking covered 12 miles. I got up for the sun rise at pen y fan (Mark stayed in his backpacking tent!) and covered a further 3 miles and then on the way back to the car covered another 9 miles.

We were testing out our latest camping gear including my new 2023 Terra Nova Lazer Compact AS tent, Mark's Big Agnes Copper Spur 1 tent, my Osprey Atmos 50 LT, Fire Maple Radiant camping stove and Inov-8 Roclite G400 hiking boots and lots of other smaller backpacking gear items.

I love wild camping in Wales but usually spend my time in Snowdonia. However, wild camping in the brecon beacons was superb and there are so many places to camp up high out of the way of people and animals. We left no trace, please make sure you do the same!
