Parked on the mountain road near the summit at SO 12050 04452. Did a quick loop over the two possible high points and back to the road. With MP. 0.6km, with 10m of ascent.Man of Kernow106/06/2023
Lovely walk from Tir-Phil railway station up onto the ridge then north to Pontlottyn and a short diversion off the track onto this TuMP.Father Ted09/02/2023
Tirphil to Deri. Smattering of snow on the ground gave a very pleasant walk.Smudge21/01/2023
An overcast solo walk from Tir-Phil station, up the zig-zag path to Coed-cae and Capel y Brithdir, then northwest to the open hillside to visit the three Bronze Age cairns. Joined the road near the mast, then up to the undistinguished summit. Decent enough long views. Carried on to the 442 spot height in case of future tampering, then down to the valley before climbing Rhymni Hill on the other side.thesweetcheat19/09/2022
