Moel Faban & Gyrn from Rachub with Rufus. Parked not far from the pub and walked up the high street to the open hill. Up and over Moel Faban (most dog poo I've ever seen on a hill) and onwards to Gyrn. Returned around N side of Moel Faban to village. | jacobrichmond | 23/01/2023 |
Parked to NNW at SH 6300 6914 (space for 3 or 4 cars) - E. up the Bryn Hall track for about 150m, turned right & along track & paths to wall corner at 636687 - Initially losing height, headed SW & SE on RoW & then SW up good path to large summit rock & cairn. Ascent from Rachub perhaps a better option. | gerrybowes | 21/01/2023 |
