12 mile circular from holiday cottage in Trefriw. Up steep hairpin bend road to Cefn Cyfarwydd trig point then down and along to Llyn Cowlyd. An easy-to-follow path heads up the hillside from the dam and along the sometimes boggy ridge to Creigiau Gleision North Top, then Creigiau Gleison (2nd time bagged). We retraced our steps to the boggy cwm and descended a good but sometimes boggy footpath into woods down to Llyn Crafnant. Followed tourist track along Llyn Crafnant and followed minor road then riverside footpath back to Trefriw. 905m ascent. Saw 3 people on the hill and quite a lot by Llyn Crafnant. Great views in all directions throughout. | DanTrig | 12/06/2022 |

Blaen y Nant to E of Crimpiau then path to summit just beyond wall. Rough tracks leading over Craig Wen, Craiglwyn and both tops of Creigiau Gleision. Rough track E to fence then over stile by huge blanket bog to follow track S along old fence posts into forest. Simple forest paths and tracks back to Llyn Crafnant.
