From Trefoil, easy parking by lockable barrier. A few sheep tracks (more found on the way back), otherwise mainly rough vegetation. | PGCE | 06/12/2023 |
Started from trefil and could not find a path from start to finish a truly hard walk through bog and tussock grasslands and along sheep tracks. However the cairns are surprisingly interesting and the cairn would make a fine county summit. Certainly don't do this walk from trefil unless you know of a footpath a hard slog for a unclassified hill summit | hodder | 13/09/2023 |
7 mile solo run from Parc Bryn Bach .. I know its been demoted but these hills are so nice during a dry spell .. plenty of good trods once youve found your way through the GOML country onto the access land | milejunkie | 01/06/2023 |
15.3 miles 1818ft walk, start at Pontsticill Reservoir carpark to Merthyr Common, Pen March, Twyn Ceilog, Bryniau Gleision, Cefn Yr Ystrad and Cambrian Way to Pant Y Creigiau return by Torpantau raiway station path. | stephenbuda | 01/05/2023 |
Highest of a few cairns. Some interesting ancient features to the north and east | Vulcan | 05/03/2023 |
From Dolygaer. Circuit of Pant y Creigiau, Bryniau Gleision, Cefn yr Ystrad, Twyn Ceilog, Pen March and Merthyr Common. (Too foggy to go scrambling about for Cwar yr Ystrad) | Arbie | 06/08/2020 |
Bwlch - Wenallt - Tor y Foel - Bryn Melyn - Bryniau Gleision - Cefn yr Ystrad - Twyn Ceilog - Rhymney. | Mark Jackson | 21/02/2020 |
From Dolygaer. Circuit of Pant y Creigiau, Bryniau Gleision, Cwar yr Ystrad, Cefn yr Ystrad, Twyn Ceilog, Pen March and Merthyr Common. Shouldn't have bothered with the last three as it was a thankless bogfest for uninspiring 'summits'. | welshyboyo | 27/05/2019 |
Park at Trefil, followed road from village and then across moorland. Would be hard work when wet. | Ramblingpaul | 22/05/2018 |
From Ponsticill. 11k of rough ground looking for a couple of trig bolts on rocks - neither found. | jonglew | 08/08/2016 |
Twyn Cilog and Mynydd Llangynidr from Trefil (there is a barrier across the road just north of Trefil). Mostly pathless - just over two hours. | clivevilla | 19/06/2016 |
Round from Pontsticill with Merthyr Common, Penmarch, Twyn Ceilog, Cefn yr Ystrad, Bryniau Gleision and Pant Y Creigiau | underhill | 25/10/2015 |
A465 was closed and diversion meant a quick nip up from the main road. dry spell meant no bog. | dicky | 12/04/2015 |
1/7 Did this one thing first thing in morning very boggy approach from the village of Trefil. Not easy 'summit' to ascertain location ! | Fergalh | 11/01/2015 |
From Pen March. No paths if you go direct. Hard work. 'Summit' could be anywhere as you cannot work out where the 'end of the ridge'is. Pleasant spot. Had a good walk around. | destaylor | 08/03/2013 |
From the west. A rough remote circuit linking obscure council top high points with zero prominence- a good mountain marathon training run.Has since been demoted of its status. | Chris Pearson | 21/04/2006 |
pleasant rocky summit, undramatic view; Co Top on S shoulder 099128 c.550m. circuit from end of tk at 098100 | RHW | 17/08/2002 |
From Cefn Coch. Down and up to another unmarked top, tussocks competing for top spot. | arranc | 14/03/1999 |
