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 Crocked and Graham Jackson. From Pont Rhydgaled we followed the track west which leads towards the hill's summit. We continued to the west top. | johnbarnard25 | 05/03/2022 |

Second of four Dewey's on a walk just over 10mile in length starting from Eisteddfa Gurig car park £5, route was changed as the track I was going to use to the east of starting point proclaimed no right of way so used the footpath to the right instead then onto Llechwedd Hirgoed west top and from the SE top used tracks to reach Esgair y Maesnant and Y Foel. Returned to car via a horrendous walk along the A44 from sweet lamb rally, not recommended as there's no footpath! | WAYNE ROWLETT | 01/04/2018 |
Parked in layby at 810834 After ascent of West Top, dropped down to col & then a straightforward ascent to the area of the estimated summit. The large elongated grassy hump which lies approximately 100m W. of the estimated summit at SN 81968 83286 looked higher. & readings from both the GPS & altimeter appeared to support this observation.

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 |
From 3452. Some awkward ground but not too bad. Only bits of paths. | destaylor | 07/08/2014 |
