| From Aber via pen y cydgoed and foel dduarth. A steep pull up the latter from the ancient enclosure. F.D. is well worth the visit for the views it yields. Steepish pull up here from there but no difficulty. Heading to Foel Fras via this line of minor tops well worth doing. With db | stig_nest | 24/09/2022 |
