Coming from Y Llethr, this was a top that could quite easily be missed, this was my 4th mountain peak today. | Buckleymon | 20/06/2023 |
Parked just after the cattle grid, before the farm 632258. Farmer asks for a minimum £3 donation to air ambulance. Tarmac track to Graig Isa, then follow track then ATV track (marked on 1:25k map). ATV track goes all the way to the summit. Down to corner and along to pick up nuttall of Crib y Rhiw. Back to corner then follow fence mostly on ATV tracks all the way to Moelfre. Back down to col then through gate and ATV track (again marked on 1:25k, not the bridletrack marked on 1:50k which didn't seem to exist). Hot day out, got back just before the thunder. 8.3 miles 2600ft of ascent. | JulieB | 12/06/2023 |

From end of minor road north west of Bontddu | JamesD1972 | 27/03/2023 |
Third of 8 tops on a breathtaking but exhausting 16.5 mile trek from Dyffryn Ardudwy to Barmouth via Moelfre, Y Llethr, Diffwys and the southern Rhinogydd ridge. After Y Llethr, followed the obvious ridge path to Crib-y-Rhiw. Great views in all directions, the terrain was slightly rougher underfoot than I expected on this part of the route. Onwards to Diffwys. | thesweetcheat | 13/09/2022 |

Rhinog Fawr, Rhinog Fach, Y Llethr, Crib-y-rhiw, Diffws, Diffws West Top. Followed route in Nuttall's book. Couldn't find anyone at the farm so I left £2 parking fee in the porch. Weather had closed in by the end and it was a long day, made the mistake of following the bridleway at GR634240 on the map instead of getting The Nuttalls book out of my rucksack! Should have turned off at GR 640242 and headed for the gate at GR637246. | tsharp | 07/06/2017 |

Low cloud visibility down to 30m rain on and off very strong winds. Parked in Cwm Nantcol near Pont Cerrig.

Dropped down to Bwlch Drws-Ardudwy and back to the car. 19 km 1217m of ascent..didn't see a thing so will have to do it again in better weather. | axe.stephen | 03/05/2015 |
