Parked at the entrance to the wind farm at 794 830 for a circuit of 5 minor summits. 5/5. Traversed Cripiau. Descended steeply W to track. | PGCE | 29/09/2023 |
Parked at the entrance to the wind farm at 794 830. Followed the access road up to just under Cripau, where I cut up, heading for the North Top and then the South Top. Returned to the road and followed it to 805 820, taking a ride to the east of Peraidd Fynydd and then up through the mature trees to the summit. Next diversion from the road was easy bag of Cefn Chwarelmelyn on the right, followed by Cefn Croes on the left. Kept to the road, taking the right turn to 794 787 to take the ride to Banc Dolwen. Descended to Afon Myherin at the bridge. Followed the road to the bothy at Nant Syddion, then double backed on myself to take the bridleway up to the ridge at SN 768 786. From here followed the delightful ridge past the trig and Pen Dihewyd, Y Glog SW top (at 547m) and the main summit of Y Glog at Draws Drum. From here followed ATV track past the lake to the SW top of Peraidd Fynydd (554m) and then via the gate and track to access road. 28km with 1100m ascent, taking me 7h 45m. | silveracorn_alan | 09/04/2023 |
#5 of 7 from SN793830, then down to Eisteddfa-Gurig bridge | RHW | 21/01/2023 |
from sn 793830 up track then fenceline and steep up then to south top | underhill | 22/07/2020 |
From S. Top then started down. I could see my car at 793830 but it was too steep to go directly so worked my way down in a northerly direction to a visible forest track. This petered out and I had quite a struggle to get down, eventually descending the last part by the side of a steep stream. | clivevilla | 03/05/2018 |
