| From small car park at Tyncwm (SN769655) along RoW past Garreglwyd to watershed (SN792643). Then along good ATV tracks to Crug Gynon, retracing route to SN 792643, from where again decent ATV tracks take you around east side of the marshy area along a minor ridge then up to Dibyn Du. Return W side of marshy area and down to outward RoW near Garreglwyd and back to Tyncwm. 11km with 450m ascent in 3h 30m. (S) | silveracorn_alan | 31/07/2020 |
| As gerrybowes. | Moorponder | 14/07/2019 |
| Parked at 769655. I was going to do a big circuit of various tops but it had been snowing and more was forecast so I decided just to climb Dibyn Du on its own to reduce the distance for the others at a later date. I left the track earlier than I probably should have done which meant I had a bit of a rollercoaster. Visited both tops given. | clivevilla | 03/04/2019 |
| Third Dewey of four on a 17 mile walk from the dam car park at the Claerwen reservoir. Route first took in Craig Fawr then over open ground to Craig Dyfnant before dropping down to the path around the reservoir to the far end then once again over open ground to reach Dibyn Du and finally Crug Gynon. | WAYNE ROWLETT | 05/05/2018 |

After bagging Crug Gynon, back along ATV tracks to 792643 & then N. along ATV tracks before heading NW for a fairly straightforward ascent to the unmarked mossy summit. Back same way, but after skirting boggy area picked up an ATV track which heads W. & then SW down to Garreglwyd. (S) | gerrybowes | 17/11/2017 |
| Walked up the excellent track from Tyncwm past Garregwyd, then onto Crug Gynon, round the Llyn and up Dibyn Du. Almost all on ATV tracks. Dropped down to the path below through ancient hawthorns. | Neolith | 14/05/2017 |
| Parked in small designated area at Tyncwm than followed track to Garreglwyd where it becomes decent ATV track almost to the cairn on Crug Gynon. Retraced steps then headed north again following ATV tracks before ascending Dibyn Du. Came off to north and picked up track down by Nant Egnant to car. | SS | 15/04/2017 |

| Parked near end of lane east of Strata Florida Abbey at SN 76986 65564 - room for 3-4 cars. Took track east, leaving it near a ruin to ascend steeply north-east to summit plateau - one barbed wire fence to tackle. Visited all likely high points on all three tops. Walk continued to Esgair Wen. Solo. | Man of Kernow1 | 30/05/2016 |

| As part of a circuit of Disgwilfa, Graig Felen, Esgair Wen, Dibyn Du, Crug Gynon, Crug Gynon South Top and Pen-y-bwlch starting at 76984 65568. The circuit was over tussocky grass and peaty ground, if the weather hadn't been dry for the past few weeks this would not have been achievable. | JohnStoneham | 08/09/2014 |
| From Crug Gynon. As below best to keep to the higher graound. Even if dry the tussocks cause problems. | destaylor | 26/07/2014 |
| Start ~ 769655, Tyncwm. Tiny car park, followed good track up to Garreglwyd then turned north to Dibyn Du. going was tough in places, tussocks and bog, real Welsh Dewey terrain!
