Training for the July 2018 5in55 challenge for Ty Hafan really ramped up in the May, and I was regularly out climbing in the Brecon Beacons in all weathers. When it rained, it poured. But when the sun shone, it was exhilarating! Due to work commitments, I mostly walked in the evening and watched the sun set over the mountains. This provided great opportunities for landscape photography. The vast majority of my time was spent climbing Pen-y-Fan and then walking across to Cribyn. This presented plenty of tough climbs (especially up to the top of Cribyn), which were great for training.
