Great walk on the best day of the year so far (6 April 2015), so fantastic views all round. Bit of confusion at beginning and end.Unable to find the track after the bridge, so had to continue on the tarmac lanes right round to the car park at Cwm Gwdi.Took just under 5 hours with plenty of rests and a 10 minute break at the top on Corn Du.
Yes, it's one of the best circuits in the Brecon Beacons. To avoid the lanes, you go a short distance up a farm track to the left after the bridge. Then turn right over a stile onto a footpath leading slightly uphill to another stile and the rest should be obvious.
