On a non firing day, although some red flags were flying but not all. From the view point car park, up The Warren first then back to track and up by trees to trig and top. Back to track other side of trees and back across road to do others on range.PeterD19/02/2023
Continued along the Heart of Wales Line Trail from the Warren. Easy bag from the track. Some ordnance lying around.Campbell Singer04/02/2023
I was a little confused as I had checked that it was not a firing day but the red flags were flying. A contractor in a land rover stopped and explained that it was fine and that the red flags always fly. Parked at 96678 47385 and walked in along the road tp Pen Cae'r Mynach and The Warren on the way back.clivevilla11/08/2021

After Epynt and the Warren. No views of anything today, just a soaking. Still, fairly atmospheric I suppose.Herbert Anchovy22/02/2017
Advertised as a non-firing day and I am always one to believe the advertising. Bagged the Marilyn top first with a couple of walking friends but then left the car at the viewpoint and walked up to this one going a different way around the clump of trees on the way up and on the way down.Father Ted27/11/2016
