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 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 |
