From Ysbyty Ifan. Peat bogs galore (thankfully dried up)! | JamesD1972 | 14/05/2018 |
Llyn Celyn through forest to footpath via Nant-y-Coed to Waun Garnedd-y-Filiast to Carnedd y Filiast to Carnedd Llechwedd-llyfn to Arenig Fach. Descend via east ridge to Llyn Celyn. Clear weather, but cold and windy. Saw nobody all day. Walked solo. Once past Carnedd y Filiast, the route was mainly pathless and very rough going ... bogs and tussock grass! Arenig Fach a nice wild mountain with a fine corrie tarn, though the others were rather forgettable lumps! | jamessteel100 | 05/04/2018 |

As part of Nuttall walk 6.2, with Penda, 6.5 hours. Easy thanks to track and path. | beorwulf | 08/07/2017 |
Original Welsh Nuttalls completed in 2003. Found this addition on discovering this web site late last year. Easy - if wet - continuation from C y F along fence. One more to go in Beacons - glad this wasn't my new last Welsh N. | JohnIvor | 13/03/2017 |
I thought that I'd completed the Nuttalls back in 2000 - until they came up with all of these piddling new ones. So here we go again with a recompletion on a rather insignificant bump | Colin Crawford | 09/09/2016 |
Parked at Llyn Celyn. Pen Garneddwen, Foel Boeth, Carnedd Llechwedd Llyfn, Carnedd Y Filiast, Waun Garnedd Y Filiast, Craig Yr Hafod, Graig Ddu and Craig Y Garn. Some horrible heather bashing en route!! | AlunRees31 | 08/07/2016 |

From free parking area near dam. Used PF`s up onto moor then tracks to just S of Foel-boeth summit. Then up to summit & across moor to Carnedd Llechwedd-llyfan. Dry underfoot after all the sunshine. Alternative summit presumed to be cairn by fence. Then followed fence to Carnedd-y-Filiast & Waun Garnedd y Filiast. | mart0797 | 03/06/2016 |

Nuttalls route 6.2 to Carnedd Llechwedd-Ilfyn, then down the SE ridge over Foel-boeth. | Crib Goch | 11/04/2016 |
Having not bothered with the Nuttall top on 2 previous visits to the main top I thought I'd vary the route and so pulled up at Nant Fach. Mr Farmer not at all helpful with parking though so headed up the other road to the path near Defaidty. Very good track picked up to near pt 509m but then followed old wall and fence. Torture of a route. Rough near pathless. From summit just descended direct to lake. Doubt i will ever be back. | stig_nest | 04/04/2016 |
Nuttall Walk WN 6.2 Arenig Fach from Llyn Celyn (SH 585 410), visiting Waun Garnedd-y-filiast, Carnedd y Filiast, Carnedd Llechwedd-llyfn and Arenig Fach. 19.2km with 960m ascent in 7 hours. (S) | silveracorn_alan | 28/03/2016 |
With Carnedd y Filiast | nordicstar | 31/12/2015 |
Up forestry track which soon runs out so left with gorse and briar and no track until wall found then quickly up to Pen Garneddwen, deep heather and wet to Foel-boeth then Carnedd Llechwedd-llyfn [Llechwedd-llyfn] then trough of Bowland damp walk to Carnedd y Filiast then Waun Garnedd-y-Filiast then back to start of track which was followed to road to avoid further deep heather and bog. A very good choice of return route. | Dugswell2 | 07/09/2015 |
With Minnie. From layby parking to good track start at 859 411, then heather & vague tracks to Foel-boeth, then vague & very boggy tracks to Carnedd Llechwedd-llyfn, along fence to Carnedd y Filiast, boggy again along fence to Waun Garnedd-y-Filiast, back to track by Carnedd y Filiast, contour round Brottos & Foel-boeth back to road, over cast, occiasional Sun & occiasional showers. | apricorum | 28/05/2015 |
Nuttalls route. Easy path to follow - a track until last half mile then follow fence - a bit boggy! 
 
If doing full Nuttalls route I recommend you follow fences all the way up Arenig Fach. | johnjennison | 28/05/2015 |
Nuttall walk 6.2: Foel-boeth - Carnedd y Filiast S top - Waun Ganedd-y-Filiast - Carnedd y Filiast - Carnedd Llechwedd-Llyfn NE top - Carnedd Llechwedd-Llyfn - Lechwedd-Llyfn - Arenig Fach. Agree with other comments this is not a good walk. | ronaldo333 | 25/05/2015 |
