Nuttall 5.2 | Dan Baddeley | 29/09/2018 |
Parked at the Crimea Pass and headed up Allt Fawr and Moel Druman. I walked past Ysgafell Wen, despite Mark challenging me. We did the North Top and the Far North Top and then returned to it. Quite a long slog down, following the stream downhill. The river crossing at SH 6834 4952 was not easy and also there was a new barbed wire fence with no style which was a bit of a problem. The last mile and a bit on the track was easy. | tsharp | 13/09/2018 |

As part of Nuttall route 5.2, with Penda, 4h. Nice day, nice hill with scramble rocky top. The way Nuttall recommends back was hell, bogs and tussocks, and I was soaked by the time I hit the mine track. Much better to turn around and retrace your steps over the preceding hills! But I did see a feral nanny goat and her two kids, who took off steeply uphill as we got near her. | beorwulf | 06/07/2017 |

As Moel Dirnogydd. | jrj | 27/01/2017 |
Last of 5 of the day on Nuttall route 5.2 with Richard, Bernard and Sarah. The next section down, across rough boggy grass is hard work until you reach the mining track near the Crimea pass car park, so not sure I could highly recommend the route- but the ridge walk up to this point was good | Denise | 16/10/2016 |
Final Hill for the weekend, now for the descent back to the Crimea Pass CP. Walking with Sarah, Richard and Denise. | Bernard | 16/10/2016 |
I have to admit it was a real sense of achievement to get to the summit of my 5th Nuttall on my second day of Hill Bagging. The return to the Crimea Pass was still adventurous as I got wetter than intended crossing a stream! | SarahS | 16/10/2016 |
Nearly didn't bother with this but enjoying the walk so much I thought, why not? On to Ysgafell Wen. | Wycombe Wanderer | 16/09/2016 |
