After a glacial episode the area changes to periglacial conditions. There is  a lot of solifluction at this stage. Lobes of solifluction debris slipped down valley sides and can be seen in the bottom parts of Brecon Beacons valleys and modern post glacial rivers are cutting a 'V' notch down through this debris.
 The photo showsCwm Amarch - a hanging valley with an alluvial fan spreading out into a ribbon lake - Tal-y-Llyn. Here postglacial deposition is modifying the glacaited lake by the gradual build up of the alluvial fan (delta) debris.
