Parked at Cwm Bychan for a circuit of 8 Tumps. 15km in 6 hours 30: tough going. 3/8PGCE21/07/2022
Round of Clip, Craig Ddrwg, Craig Wion and the Morwynion trio from Cwm Bychan, all very rough going and utterly delightful. No hint of any path between the Morwynion TumpsColin Crawford10/10/2021
To no eleven... On a hot long day finally Riyadh was my journey all along the rough and exhausting Rhinogs ridge from before the northerly Marilyn all the way down collecting all the tops & culminating in Rhinog Mawrvegibagger16/07/2021
Rhinog route from car park to E (Craigddu-isaf), in outstanding sunny weather. Followed good path E nearly to pass then traversed SW to in Llyn Du and climbed to summit of Craig Llyn Du (climbing the various boulders). Descended to W end of Llynand descended carefully WNW and then walked along W side of Gloyw Lyn before climbing to top of Carreg-y-saeth. Took traversing route E to join Roman Steps route near the pass, then climbed to Moel Morwynion SW Top, Moel Morwynion, Moel Morwynion NE Top, and finally Craig Wion. The section N of Roman steps very rough. Descended by stream running SE of Lyn Pryfed aiming to join footpath running S through forest. The path was barely evident on the ground and there was some rough terrain before reaching clearer paths.RobertP12/06/2021
2 day traverse from Talsarnau to Barmouth from Moel Morwiynion then to Roman steps over very rough groundunderhill14/05/2021

The final top of what was meant to be a 2 dayer. Which I ended up doing in one 9 hour day. More bare rock, makes the going a good bit easier- though there's still the odd nasty drop. Down to Roman steps and coed y brenin.stig_nest17/04/2021
A splendid walk / scramble across the rocky, magical outcrops of the northern Rhinogs. Parked at the car park at Cwm Bychan SH 645 314. Bagged 5 splendid Deweys, including Clip, Craig Ddrwg, Craig Wion, Moel Morwynion & Rhinog Fawr North Top (my 200th Dewey!). Also Moel Morwynion NE & SW Tops en route. Returned via the Roman Steps. Definitely a walk for a fine dry sunny day as this was, could be a navigational nightmare in the mist! 13.1km with 1600m ascent in 6 hours. (S)silveracorn_alan18/09/2020
Moel Morwynion and it’s NE & SW tops from Bwlch Tyddiad with Rufus. Parked at the forestry car park at SH 68409 30188 and followed track then trail past Pistyll Gwyn towards the Bwlch. Left the path when directly south of the SW top and weaved a way through outcrops, heather and bog to the 3 summits. Descended from NE top to the east then followed forestry fence N to the ROW near Hafod Gynfal. The 300m or so took around half an hour as the ROW is almost impossible to recognise and I ended up thrashing through spruce with increasing density. Took forest track back to parking. Poor visibility and pathless, really quite wild hills.jacobrichmond17/08/2020

Large parking area at Cwm Bychan (Honesty Box) - Up Roman Steps to top of pass & then NE along faint & sometimes indistinguishable path which runs about 80yds to the W. of the summit outcrop. From summit, dropped back down to path & continued to Moel Morwynion. (S)gerrybowes21/05/2017

From Craig Llyn Ddu. Navigation not easy through rocky terrain with deep valleys.clivevilla19/05/2016
Parked at Cwm Bychan took the path up to the Bwlch next to Clip then across to Craig Wion then 3 tops of Moel Morwynion descended via Roman Steps back to Cwm Bychan.Rob5016/10/2015
En passant between 3373 and 3394 - didn't find much of a path. Heather and co slowed progress down.destaylor15/09/2015
Continuation of walk from Moel 'Morwynion'. Descended to boggy bwlch and easily up by faint path to visit the north and south tops of the hill. Descended on good path to Roman Steps path and west back to Cwm Bychan. With DM and MP on a survey.Man of Kernow121/09/2014
Parked at Llyn Cwm Bechan. Roman steps up to Craig Llyn Du via fair path along wall skirting round the west of the summit. 20 goats on top. Descended to Roman steps on path to east of summit then navigation nightmare began in thick mist and constant heavy rain. Don't try it without a satnav! Moel Morwynion south west top, Moel Morwynion, Moel Morwynion north east top, Craig Wion. Extremely rough going over pathless mature heather and rock with repeated descents of mini-crags (via safe but scrambly cracks in the crags). When I say pathless, there were plenty of sheep trods with boot prints/'paths' but always going somewhere else and contantly disappearing - follow your bearing and not these 'paths'. Finally descent on public right of way below Clip.ijpowell03/10/2013

With MJ, DP & CA. See David's log. Complete traverse of Nuttalls, Deweys and other peaks north from Rhinog Fawr. Is it summer already? Interesting granite terrain!AGWilliamson24/03/2012
Same as AW and DP - on CUHWC Easter trip, in a March heatwave and glorious sunshine. Mostly very rough and slow going, but fascinating terrain and a real sense of exploration.Mark Jackson24/03/2012
