From a passing place due west of top. Nobody up here in March so I did not think that parking in a passing place was too heinous. It started snowing quite heavily during the 15 or so minutes it took. | clivevilla | 28/03/2018 |

from the car park at the end or the road, sat in the catr for four hours listening to radio 4, while looking across the valley at the hill baking in this heatwave and thinking it was too hot to go walking. However the desirew to boost the tick list won out !! Across the valley floor and the hill ridge were hard work terrain. Made a circuit straight off the steep north slopes and across to the lower 414m summit and back along the road. | vegibagger | 18/06/2017 |

Re-visit looking for mobile I had dropped the day before. Luckily found it. | andrew brown | 19/06/2016 |
Car parked to N of Coedty Reservoir. Path from ENE did not seem visible on the ground, descended SE to join alternative route back to start point. Nice summit rock. | RobertP | 08/05/2016 |
Done on a walk over the southern ridge of Cwm Eigiau. Parked in the car park at the lane-end north of Llyn Eigiau and took lane north-east. Then over a stile at bend in lane and by ATV tracks to the summit. Summit (erratic) boulder is easy to scale. Walk continued to Moel Eilio. With AW. | Man of Kernow1 | 28/02/2016 |
