I started at the hairpin bend that gives access to Blaen Pennant where it's possible to park one car without blocking the new and much used gate. I met the farmer on my way back and he has had a lot of trouble with cars blocking his access so please bear this in mind. A superb path leads into the picturesque valley where I struck up to LLechwedd Du, a Simm then onto Esgeiriau Gwynion over easy slopes before coming off to the SW and then heading up another Simm, Foel Hafod-ffynydd. Great views everywhere especially the Arans. | Peterb | 04/08/2023 |

A cloudy mizzly day that meant some route finding issues across initial stretch of boggy ground.. As a result missed Llechwedd Du on way out and picked it up on way back. So first top was Esgeiriau Gwynion by which time coud had cleared so easily over to Foel Hafod-fynydd and back to pick up the missed top. Though clear now missed the best line back and finished a couple of hundred yards south on the road. | dickscroop | 04/11/2021 |

From the east, followed the watershed divide fence on the north side. Some hags but mostly OK in dry and warm conditions. | Topographer57 | 16/07/2021 |
3/3 With Glasgwm and Aran Fawddwy. From Pandy after sleeping (not much) in van. Up ridge, over to Glasgwm, through the little door and down to 350m then back up to Bwylch Siddryn, nipped up Esgeiriau, road back to Pandy. Decent weather on ascent until ridge, then Fawddwy and Glasgwm clagged, cleared after that and breeze stiffened. | Rounsfell | 12/07/2021 |
The bog trot from Bwylch y Groes CP - not too boggy today. Esgeiriau Gwynion then LLechwedd Du. | ger | 02/07/2021 |

From Rhyd y bod (SH 89050 27439) up the lane and track in Cwm Croes to Cwm Ffynnon, then followed RoW - little trace on ground up to Bwlch Sirddyn. Waited there to join in surveying with MP and AW of Esgeiriau Gwynion, Foel Rhudd and Ffridd Cwm-ffynnon (Lechwedd Llyfn), before descending back into Cwm Croes again. | Man of Kernow1 | 24/04/2021 |

from Bwlch-y-Groes via Llychwyd Du. Used Nuttals route but missed out Foel Rhydd [E top] due to lateness of day. Returned using opposite side of fence from their recommendation, which was much better underfoot, though no doddle! | IanHHill | 11/10/2020 |

Parked at Bwlch v Groes car park. Llechwedd Du, straight over to Feel Hafod-fynydd, Esgeiriau Gwynion, Foel Rhudd, Foel y Groes and Moel y Cerrig Duon. Only problem was the friendly cattle that arrived at the car park while I was walking, had a dump on a wheel and had been rubbing themselves on the side of my car! | CJM | 08/09/2020 |
