A second attempt at Llechwedd Hirgoed, this time from a lay by near the Elvis Stone on the A44. Having been turned back from the east side on an earlier attempt, no issues with Sweet Lamb this time, kept on access land throughout. Visited Cripiau Eisteddfa-fach, Llechwedd Hirgoed, and its West Top. 7km with 350m ascent taking 2hours. | silveracorn_alan | 01/08/2022 |
With Chris Crocker and Graham Jackson. We continued from the SE Top over grass to the hill's summit. Then we descended NE to reach one of the wide tracks that reurned to Pont Rhydgaled. Not popular if you do this when a motorbike event is on!! | johnbarnard25 | 05/03/2022 |
From Pont Rhydgaled after SE Top. E side of hill is used by trail motorcycles, leading to a GOML confrontation at the bottom where were called pricks and told to f*** off. So better to descend on access land further north. | Galltywenallt | 05/03/2022 |
As gerrybowes & bolton. | Chris Peart | 17/08/2021 |

First of four Dewey's on a walk just over 10mile in length starting from Eisteddffa Gurig car park £5, was supposed to be the last but the track I was going to use east of starting point had a nice sign proclaiming no right of way so used the footpath to the right instead and did the route in reverse. Also took in Llechwedd Hirgoed east top, then used tracks to reach Esgair y M aesnant and Y Foel returned to car via a horrendous walk along the A44 from sweet lamb rally, not recommended as no footpath to use! | WAYNE ROWLETT | 01/04/2018 |

Round of 4 Deweys, 3 Sub Deweys and 1 400 Tump. 10 and a half miles, quite a bit of yomping across pathless, tussocky, boggy gtound. | clivevilla | 04/04/2015 |
Warm and windy with a little drizzle later on, taking a clockwise loop round from the little FC car park. Rally cars and scrambling bikes apart, a peaceful walk over mainly bulldozed tracks. The mast on Y Foel is well and truly broken though. | SS | 01/11/2014 |
