Sure Matty. And I remember once making a comment about the Nikon D40, suggesting it was a rather poor camera, and got berated for it. Double standards methinks. His comment was simply totally unnecessary Matty, and nothing was done about it. Simple as.

Provocative nonsense removed. To the OP.... It is widely known (except, of course, by mr 4x4) that Olympus kit lenses are by far the best kit lenses you get with any manufacturer. The Oly 50mm ZD f2 is one of the sharpest lenses ever made. The 12-60mm, when coupled with the E3 is one of...

As Wayne says, take care and be well prepared because the Brecon Beacons can be very dangerous, especially in inclement weather. However, if you are thinking of going up Pen-y-Fan (tallest mountain in Southern Britain) then this can be quite safe especially if you use the Storey Arms route...
