With Ben, Ella, Alex, Corwyn, Fernando, Tima, & James. Ascent from Rhyd Ddu. Onwards to Mynydd Drws-y-coed. | millionmts | 16/04/2023 |
Came up from the Rhyd Ddu car park, a long slog to the top of Yr Garn but miles better than coming from the West side that I ended up going down to Cae Amos bothy, and then completing the loop back up the valley. The quarry at the top of the valley is a nice (dramatic) surprise after the long road walk. | andrewroberts | 04/03/2023 |
Nantlle ridge W to E, very rough, awkward descent to Y Garn, esp with small dog and large packs, going up would have been much better. Nantlle ridge definitely best approached from east. Good, clean descent to Rhyd Ddu. | richardrosser | 20/10/2022 |

A 13 mile walk using nuttall's route the one change I would make is the return to Rhyd-Ddu from Craig Cwm Silyn its not that good it looked better to return to Mynydd Tal-y mignedd and follow the ridge down to the deserted quarry. | WAYNE ROWLETT | 01/06/2019 |

Nuttall Walk 4.2 | tomd4 | 03/05/2018 |
The Nantlle Ridge from Rhyd-Ddu to near Maen-llwyd. With daughter, Katherine. Followed good path from SH566526 which goes steeply up to the summit of Y Garn. Good visibility here but mist came down for scramble up Mynydd Drws-y-coed. Compass in use for ascent of Trum y Ddysgl and on to Mynydd Tal-y-mignedd. The connecting col between these two hills has a level platform with very steep sides with a somewhat disconcerting dip half way along. It is easy enough to negotiate, though. | pwbellarby | 11/04/2018 |

First, but only top on attempt on the Nantlle Ridge, aborted due to very slippy rocks on way up to next top, Mynydd Drws y Coed. Not the place to be on a very wet day!!! | IanHHill | 30/06/2017 |
