From NNW, top of Parish Road, fairly direct ascent on tracks and paths to forest road at 400m, cross W of Nant penycae then steep heather, slow progress due to bilberries! Path beside boundary leads to tussocky HP N side of fence | RHW | 11/07/2020 |
From Glyncorrwg. Cefn Mawr trig and Moel y Hyrddod first. Mynydd Corrwg Fechan on the way back. HP seemed to be by the boundary post a few metres SW of the conifers. | jonglew | 30/01/2017 |
From Glyncorrwg via the pillar at Moel-Yr Hyrddod.

7/9 Parked at picnic area and walked in past wind farm base. The summit is near the top of the track alongside the mast. Major construction going on here | Fergalh | 07/12/2014 |
Parked at viewpoint and walked into Craig y Llyn peaks. Joined route47 cycle path and made way to pictured location. Peak is somewhere in trees. Good views to the north toward the beacons. Came back via more northerly path overlooking A465. | rypj83 | 27/04/2013 |
Not a lot to be said about this one another forestry commission summit with few redeeming features. Ended up spending some time in the trees trying to establish the high point.Take the footpath of near the twin poles makes for a far easier time. | hodder | 11/05/2012 |
