From Lllanfachreth car park. Rhobell Fawr then out and back of Dduallt before completing circular route. (Also visited Rhobell Fawr Weat Top) Great walk but the route up and down Dduallt was very rough going. Solo | Dan Baddeley | 03/09/2023 |

From Lllanfachreth car park. Nice path by school then rough ground to Cerniau West Top, Moel y Llan (also visited top of similar height), Cerniau (also visited top of similar height). Headed roughly NE contouring and then over to Rhobell Ganol and Rhobell-big and back to climb Rhobell Fawr and Cynefin Bryn Blew [Rhobell Fawr West Top], down ridge to rejoin outward route. Warm and sunny. | RobertP | 27/05/2023 |

Drove up from South, through three gates, parked just off the tarmac where it ends at junction of forest roads: Cynefin Bryn Blew [Rhobell Fawr West Top], Rhobell Fawr and Dduallt. Claggy start which cleared for lovely clear views on a warm afternoon. Pub tea in Bala afterwards. | Lazylizzie | 07/05/2023 |

Parked at the top of the lane through Rhydymain at SH796232 where there is a gate and parked next to the old building. We walked up through the farm land to the forest and then turned left at SH795244 then as a path leads off the forestry track head up there over a stile and then a stream, head up the hill a little to reach a track. Headed west along the track to SH791247 then straight up along the fence over some rocks then we just made a bee line for the summit over easy ground and wow what a view from the summit, one of my favorite's! To head down we cam back to a stile at SH789258 then headed straight down via a path besides a fence right down to the forestry track | haylesb | 17/09/2022 |
Heading south from Dduallt, I headed down towards the fence line along the forest, continue along here where they once was a forest, the fence takes a 90o right turn, follow it along and in the corner is a stile, go across this and head northwest up through the forest, this area is very boggy, unfortunately I had approach shoes which was a big mistake, there is a sign in the forest pointing left and this will eventually bring you out on a track, go left for about 500 yards and there is a path on your right, follow this up a very steep ascent over two walls, after the second wall, go left and you will find the trig point at the top, great views from up here.Descend north following the wall and head northeast towards the edge of the forest, this area is pathless and very boggy, I aimed for the edge of the forest and kept the river to my right all the way down to the original path I started on. 
This was a nice walk, approx. 10 miles, but very boggy even though I walked this after a long | Buckleymon | 26/08/2022 |

From halfway up driveable tarmac Road on South, that says unsuitable for motor vehicles. | vegibagger | 12/06/2022 |
Left the car at the end of the minor road north of Rhobell y big 78802 29243,and followed the ROW to east of summit and then the fun began mostly pathless over Rhobell y big, Rhobell Ganol, Rhobell fawr, Moel Cae'r defaid west & east top and Dduallt. A note of warning the return to the car after dropping off the last summit due north to ford the river, if this is in spate the crossing can be a difficult wide crossing with slippery stones, I got caught out and tried using the south bank to return, This is not advised instead it would probably be best to try and return through the forest near Foel Gron although this could be also be tricky. Nine and half miles in Seven and half hours(GPS suggested Five hours). | WAYNE ROWLETT | 04/06/2022 |

Drove up from South, through three gates, parked just off the tarmac where it ends at junction of forest roads. No signs saying not to do so, and passing 4x4 vehicle didn't stop. Lovely 50 minutes walk to summit. Onwards to Moel Cors-y-garnedd for a nice 2 hour round trip. | Minto | 25/05/2022 |
Used the southerly approach on a poor day. Drove up to road end and having climbed Y Dduallt, we ascended the lovely rough Rhobell Fawr with even a little scrambling added in.

From the south, starting at road end gate elevation 310m. Past Caer Defaid and ascended from the south. Descended SE to forestry track, which is paved up to 420m with no apparent objection to driving it. | Topographer57 | 15/07/2021 |

After Moel Siabod in the morning drove round via Dolgellau to climb this from the South. Parked at 797237 before second gate. Up and down in 2 hours, thankful for the two ladder stiles over the walls. | NormanW | 25/05/2021 |

Rhobell Fawr & West top from West. No reasonable parking near Tyddyn-du at the end of the minor road so parked at SH 75681 26118 Hafodowen in a parking area presumably for holiday cottage. Over stile at parking area and ROW across fields to minor road and followed past Tyddyn-du where it turns into a track leading to Bwlch Goriwared. Over stile to left just before sheepfolds and followed track to left of wall with ease to both summits, same return. 3 hour round trip and terrain easier than the map suggests, really isolated and remote feeling mountain and was treated to fog rolling off Aran, Maesglase & Cader Idris in the sunrise. | jacobrichmond | 07/11/2020 |
