| Parked the car to the East at the road junction 76221 43705 and walked down the road to Llyn Dubach and using the track climbed Y Garnedd, continuing over to its North top and on to Lyln Bryn du to climb up Y Gamallt. From here I crossed rough ground to reach the minor road north of the car to find the foot path up to Llyn Conwy, before the building on its shores I followed the wall up to Pen y Bedw. From here the ground got rough and boggy over to Foel Boeth and dropping to the the track at the South end of Llyn Conwy following this to the road and back to the car. Fourteen mile in just over Seven hours. | WAYNE ROWLETT | 19/03/2022 |

| A circuit of these lovely hills from the parking area by Lyn Dubach (SH 746 423). First visited Y Garnedd , then across to Y Garnedd North Top, past the shooting box and between the two lakes, then up Y Clochdy and onto the magnificent ridge of Y Gamallt. What a stunning location, never been before as no Nuttalls in this area, but reminded me of wild Loch Loyal and the far north. Superb!! Helped by the stunning September day. Quick return down the ridge to the cart track and the B4407 to Lyn Dubach. 8.5km, with 400m ascent in 2 h 30m. (S) | silveracorn_alan | 20/09/2020 |
| Just under 2 miles out-and-back from parking area next to Llyn Dubach, walked past danger sign on gate up track to old quarry area, as track turns and just after barbed wire fence appears on the right there is a little trail to the summit cairn, surprisingly good views for a hill of its size, then walked back to the car via easy short ascent of Carreg Y Foel-Gron. Clear and sunny with a breeze, no one about. Earlier that day did an 8 mile walk on Foel Ddu, Moel-Yr-Hydd, Moelwyn Mawr, Craigysgafn and Moelwyn Bach. | DanTrig | 12/07/2020 |

| Carreg y Foel Gron, Y Garnedd, Y Gamallt, Y Garnedd N Top, Moel Wnog, Craig y Garreg Lwyd and Craig y Garreg Lwyd W Top. Some paths but mostly pathless but not too bad underfoot. 8 miles, 3h 30. | clivevilla | 01/05/2017 |
| Day started wet so abandoned plans to do high stuff. Spotted these roadside hills but still ended up wet. Weather picked up later. | Dusty | 02/02/2017 |
| Tried to park at entrance to track at SH75332 43029, couldn't so drove along the track to the end. Perfectly good turning circle there. Followed path and quod bike track to foot of Y Gamalt ridge and climbed up on good path to the cairn on the top. Continued on less of a path until a broad valley was reached to the N. Down valley side and along bottom.Out into heather when path disappeared. Reached fishing lodge at SH74520 44333 then on to top of Y Garnedd NT. Again dropped down into a valley (wet) and then up to top of Y Garnedd. Last bit quite steep. Followed ridge down to NE and eventually cut across knee deep heather for 1/3 mile back to car. Couple of barbed wire fences to negotiate. One where BW strand had gone and the other using a gate. Ground generally soaked but a good walk all the same. | MikeM | 19/01/2017 |
| Off-road parking immediately south of Llyn Dubach at 745424 (Space for 3-4 cars) Up to just beyond top of quarry track & then a short walk along decent path to summit cairn. Continued to North Top & Y Gamallt. (S) | gerrybowes | 07/01/2017 |
| Continuation of walk from Dewey Pt. 502m. Worked south on a faint path, over a gate and stream and up to summit by its north-east ridge. To descend, followed path down to the quarry, then track south-west then south-east to B 4407. Followed road down to junction, then west on B 4391 back to the car. Care needed on roads.
