From Nantmor CP (£4.00). Moel-Ddu & its W top visited first - then back to CP & on to Moel Y Dyniewyd (there is a path through heather from high point of pass). Moel-Ddu is an excellent hill with super summit views - I basically followed the mapped path but made the mistake of not crossing the FB early on in the forest & following a signed path that is not mapped.	ger	27/03/2019
From NT car park at Aberglaslyn. Bryn Banog, Fridd Bach and Moel Ddu. Miserable day, wet and no views.	Alunrees33	23/07/2018

Excellent weather.	apricorum	25/03/2018
From carpark at Dam. The Southern shore has a path of sorts but boy is it rough and intermittent. Higher up its just a case of following the wall. A clamber over is required to get into the summit field. No views due to low cloud.	stig_nest	25/08/2017

After Moel Ddu. There is a rock and a few stones making an embryonic cairn. Quite a laborious off path descent to the lake.	clivevilla	27/04/2013
