Cribyn - Up and Above

Cribyn is perhaps the most beautiful peak in the Brecon Beacons, especially when viewed from above. Dwarfed by its neighbour Pen-y-Fan, it has a narrower and less crowded summit with astonishing views.
On this trip, my son was with me as it was his birthday; we included Fan-y-Big as well because of the views from the "diving board" at the top. I really hope you enjoy this footage. I have another channel too - "Hills and Hillforts" - if you are interested in hills and er, hillforts! Featured channels this time around:

Filming equipment: iPhone 14, DJI Osmo 3, DJI Mavic 3 Pro

Thank you Oliver

[@WC21UKProductionsLtd]

Absolutely epic shots here, Hedley. I don't remember it looking so steep and precipitous. You've captured the flat top of the mountain so strikingly too.

[@hedleythorne]

Thank you so much! It was an amazing day out. The Brecon Beacons always impress, such an evocative landscape. Thanks for watching!

[@Linleys]

Fab drone shots there. I want a drone :)
Thanks Hedley, excellent trek! Thanks for sharing. Warren

[@hedleythorne]

Thank you so much Warren! I definitely think you should get a drone. There are different ranges of drones for different budgets, and you have the "size and weight vs windholding ability" thing to think about in the mountains! Always happy to advise. Can't wait to go back to Wales, next trip is Tuesday.

Fan-y-Big? What you could do with that name... anyway: Happy Birthday to your son!

[@hedleythorne]

Haha thanks. Notice how I said it without laughing. I think that was about take 25...

Hey Phil, thanks so much, appreciated! I absolutely loved this day out, such amazing scenery. WC21 and Tweedy are absolute legends and, I am pleased to say, pure gentlemen in real life. They were both great on our Wessex Ways podcast too. Thanks again.
