Parked at the end of Cwm Pennant and followed the ROW as far as the base of Y Gyrn, scrambling over loose slate to the summit. The section over to Castell was equally challenging on rough terrain, but did at least enable a reasonable ascent up the NE flank of Moel Lefn. It was straightforward from here, along a well worn ridge path over Moel yr Ogof, Moel Hebog, and a slightly less well defined path to Bryn Banog. The subsequent descent to the old slate quarries below added historical interest and a sense of what former times around these parts meant for the working quarryman. The ROW to Tyddyn-mawr was boggy in places, but the great wee cafe in the cottage at the end of this former quarry path gave ample time to rest soggy feet and recharge the batteries. The walk back up Cwm Pennant is fabulous if you stick to the former quarry track route (black dashed line on 1:50,000 OS Map). 6.5 hrs. | summitter | 26/06/2021 |
