👍👍 I was camping in September with my elderly collie. It got rather wet. I needed a waterproof coat for him to wear if he needed to go for his evening walk in the rain.

It also offers exceptional views of Pen y Fan and Cribyn. I walked from the lovely village of Llanfrynach, via the delightful Three Ri...
