From road end to east, near trig. Up Y Pigwn first. Followed track to top and Trig. Good views. | PeterD | 06/03/2024 |
Parked on the S side of the Dam, walked across the Dam and round to the track at approx SN825 294. Pleasant path through the wood, rather than the vehicle track expected, then track and ATV track all the way to the summit. | LizH | 31/05/2022 |
Easy parking just beyond end of minor road at 845300 & up Y Pigwyn. From Y Pigwyn, SW down ATV track to track/Roman Road - W. along track for about 100m to waymarker post & then SW along ATV tracks to the summit trig point. (S) | gerrybowes | 23/07/2019 |
Circuit of Y Pigwyn, Mynydd Myddfai, Twyn Rhyblid and Ally Yr Hafod Fawr. Parked on verge before getting to Hafod farm (see the white van on Google Street view!). | BobHancock | 21/06/2019 |
Parked by the trig then used the Roman Road to get to the Roman Camps and Y Pigwyn. Then headed SW on a track to Mynydd Myddfai. | Dugswell2 | 31/12/2017 |
Very enjoyable walk in a lonely landscape, even though we arrived back at the car rather soggy and cold. | Alex C | 31/12/2017 |
From trig point at SN846300 following Roman road and track. Ypigwyn bagged enroute. | Ramblingpaul | 29/08/2017 |
From Hafod Fawr. Rushed what should have been an even more pleasant walk as there are lots of tracks across the top and I was worried about getting confused in the fading light before arriving back at the car. | clivevilla | 29/11/2016 |
With K and RM. From Hafod Fawr where friendly farmer understood but did not speak much English. | Ashley | 30/05/2016 |
from Y Pigwyn on to sub four no views today | underhill | 06/12/2015 |
3/4 Short but sharp walk up from farm north of hill. wonderful views in all directions | Fergalh | 06/09/2015 |
Parked near the white post mentioned by Des but very overgrown verges made it a chancy thing. Plenty of parking in the farm environs but we weren't cheeky enough to risk it. Otherwise, an easy stroll | Colin Crawford | 26/06/2015 |
Up from Usk reservoir and over moor to top | arranc | 07/05/2014 |
A pleasant walk up from the dam across the Usk reservoir. We did a CCW circular route up through the forest and out onto the open hillside for the summit and trig, dropping south to Bylchau Blaenclydach before returning to start point via the minor road and forest paths. | jonglew | 20/07/2013 |
From the car park by the dam wall, across the dam, through the woods and up onto the ridge. Mynydd Myddfai trig and 429m spot. Descent SE to the road and back through the woods to the car park. Overcast with showers. With a group of young explorer scouts. | richard69 | 27/05/2013 |

Easy walk from Usk reservoir. Unless you do what I did and use the wrong starting point | Martin R | 02/08/2011 |
Parked about 500m short of Cwm Nant y Beudy by a mainly white gas post. Good track - pleasant walk. | destaylor | 11/06/2010 |
pleasant summit & view. from W of dam; presumably quicker from E | RHW | 16/08/2003 |
