Wonderful dark starlit night with the crescent waning moon having just risen. Hafod Ithel was the most prominent hill of 10 TuMP's that I climbed on an excellent through-the-night walk from Builth Road to Aberystwyth. | Alex C | 18/11/2014 |
Parked at the top of the nearby road for a quick ascent. A pleasant hill that deserves more than a quick bag. | Sprog | 29/05/2014 |
After a 4h walk on Waun Claerddu, my brother drove us down Cwmystwyth and over to a road just 70 ft below Hafod Eithel. We were on the summit in minutes,then made a walk on pleasant moorland, above Llyn Eiddwen onto a ridge, Pant-y-Gwyn to the popular viewpoint- excellent view especially over to the coast | pwheeler | 04/05/2014 |
Walked the short distance from the road to the trig point in thick mist. Saw nothing. Truely mindless, but very little flogging, so not the ultimate experience. | mindlessflogger | 22/04/2014 |
