10th and final top of a 21km traverse from Pant-glas to Carmel, approached from Clogwyngarreg to reach stile and grassy path at the 390m mark followed by a steep path up, getting easier at the 470m mark then enjoyable once Foel Rudd reached where the path swweps round Craig Y Bera and upto the top. This top completes the Gwyrfai and Llyfni catchments, my 5th Welsh catchment of the week. Easy descent Nw then West, Sw to reach Y Fron then on to Carmel to my Airbnb...Dazingdale29/09/2023

Alumni weekend in caernavon. From NW. sheltered in cave/ mine workings high on edge of Craig Cwm Du as showeres/thunder crossed over. Then to summit, Foel Rudd and Rhyd Ddu for a pintrichardrosser15/10/2022
Parked up at the Rhyd Ddu car park, £6 for the full day. Walk back down to the village and take a left after the pub, 150 yards up the road and take a left up a forest track, keep on here for about a mile and it turns into a path, head left through the forest and you come to fence, hop ever and head right, from here is very straight forward to get to the top. I decided to not come down the way I went up but to carry on to the north east and come down near the north end of the reservoir, I would not to do this route especially in very wet weather like I had today, slipped many times coming down here and couldnt cross the river as it was running fast and deep. Had to get soaked going through deep water close to the reservoir. Straight forward walk back through the forest and finished in the local pub for food with an open fire.Buckleymon05/10/2022

60mph winds so had to crawl down on my hands like a crab :) was quite scary. Got as far as Foel Rudd but there was very strong winds, rain and hail so will go back another day.Skarletk13/03/2022
From Rhyd Ddu. Followed forestry track and Slate Trail onto open hillside, up the ridge and descended E into valley, then followed E bank of Avon Goch down, avoiding crags. Slightly sketchy step near the bottom.welshyboyo30/01/2022

Afternoon walk after Moel Cyngyhorion in the morning. An excellent walk from Drws-y-coed, parking by the chapel a short way West along the road. Used the steep but easy track to join the ridge path and then straightforwardly to the summit along ridge path with great views, especially on way back.dickscroop27/12/2021
Varied and interesting route from Drws y Coed. Wet and windy again but enough visibility for the view over the edge of Craig y Bera to send you dizzy.cumbria mammoth09/11/2021
