From parking at SJ 1862 1773 up Bryngwyn - Back down to bwlch, headed a few metres up track to left of reservoir tank & then first right - From top of track a short walk through open woodland to the summit mound. Far less bramble than on main summit.	gerrybowes	26/02/2023
As clivevilla. Followed track immediately behind installation. This leads to within 100 ms from top. Winter vegetation conditions made this very easy.	Campbell Singer	10/02/2022
Parked at 18624 17736 and went up the marked fp to a building on the dip between the two tops. Did Bryngwyn first which was a bit brambly but the bracken that had been supporting brambles had, of course, died back so not too bad. Then back to the dip and up on a track to close tp the summit of SW Top.	clivevilla	05/01/2021
Unpleasant pair of hills. Unsatisfying and the OS map seems to tell a very different story than does the landscape! The walk to here from Llanfechain was nicer than the hills themselves	tumpawumpa	30/07/2018
after main summit, follow track. A lot of brambles cut back, though a final barrier just before getting onto summit mound was challenging, you will find a way through.	Rob50	29/10/2017
Best fun you can ever hope for.	Martin R	26/03/2017
From Bwlch y Cibau. What starts off as a decent path soon becomes an horendous struggle through brambles and undergrowth..glad to say i will unlikely ever return.	stig_nest	18/04/2016
From SJ 17853 17479. Best at this time of year when brambles are subdued. Not sure why I didn't take in this top when visiting the parent top several years ago.	summitsup	10/02/2016
Parking by minor rd NW side of col, track to resr, then brambly climb. Combined with its parent hill.	RHW	16/06/2013
