7.7 mile out-and-back from Graigddu-Isaf car park east. We followed well waymarked paths to Bwlch Drws-Ardudwy then ascended north-east pathless flanks to summit. Very rough through heather and rocks until we joined the path on the last part of the ascent. The Weather on top wasn't in our favour today; as soon as we got to the top the summit went into cloud with only slight glimpses of the view south and east. Descended the same way but detoured to see the pretty Pistyll Gwyn in the forest on way back. 594m ascent.DanTrig08/07/2022

Started from the end of the minor road leading to Nantcol where a £3 fee is payable to the farmer. A Eleven mile route taking in Rhinog Fawr, Rhinog Fach, Y Llethr, Crib y rhiw, Diffwys and its west top, the first four miles is very tough taking us about four hours but once over Y Llethr it becomes easier with grass slopes and finishing in Eight hours total.WAYNE ROWLETT14/05/2022

parked on roadside before Cil-chychwyn. walked through Cwm Nantcol up path to Bwlch Drws-Ardudwy. turned right past Llyn Cwmhosan, then left up to ridge at top. Decent to Llyn Hywel was mainly on backsides down boulder field. Return to start via Llyn Perfeddau and disused tip. Lovely, brilliant walk.gbeniston22/03/2022
Parked at the end of the road at Cwm Nantcol (£3 donation to the farmer). Followed the track to the stile N of Llyn Cwmhosan, crossed the stile and up to the little Llyn. Dropped down beyond, and missed the path going off left above the gully, regaining the path later. On to where a cairn marks the path ascending the hill, and doubling back to the N end of the ridge. Continued along the ridge to the summit cairn. Descended along the wall to a stile, again missing the path amongst boulders, eventually regaining the path above Llyn Hywel. Good path descending to the Llyn, and back as we'd come.LizH06/03/2022

From the cairn on the summit of Bwlch Drws-Ardudwy, extremely steep start, became a pleasant clear path higher uo, visited north top before main summit.
