From middle car park at SH 7548 7683, up Cogwrn - Picked up track down S. ridge & up to T-junction just below lodge - Turned right & up track until NE of top - Decent path through a mix of heather, gorse & bilberry to summit outcrop; no cairn. Cut off a couple of corners on return to car park.gerrybowes14/05/2022

Parked in Sychnant Pass. Started with Maen Esgob, went on to Moel Hafodwen, Clip y Orsedd then finished with Penmaenmawr via the quarry. There's foortpaths all way. There's lots of horses but they don't bother you if you don't bother them, as long as there's no foels. You can avoid them if you're nervous. It's 12 miles to do them all. Plus any smaller hills along the way like Molfre.Skarletk30/01/2022
