Pen y Fan
Encyclopedia : P : PE : PEN : Pen y Fan
Pen y Fan is the highest mountain in south Wales, part of the Brecon Beacons national park. It is formed of strongly glaciated Old Red Sandstone.
Pen Y Fan has claimed large numbers of casualties ranging from inexperienced hill walkers and climbers to highly trained special forces troops who utilise the area as part of a special forces selection training area (See "Fan Dance"), due to rapidly changing weather conditions. Pen Y Fan has earned the infamous title of being the most dangerous peak in Wales.
