Foel y Geifr [S8545] > Cefn Coch > Foel Figenau > Moel Cerigduon > Lledwyn Mawr from GR: SH 94613 27319ronaldo33325/02/2024
After refuelling myself in Bala, mustered the energy for another walk. 15:00, 20 degrees(!) sunny, lovely valley. gerrybowes route but instead of taking the public footpath to the ridge, I carried on up the forestry road to the narrowest point in the forest at SH90858 29215 and walked easily through the mature plantation, keeping left of some fallen trees. I was just thinking how similar it was to the Southern Uplands when the twin spires of Aran Fawddwy popped up over the horizon and with the best will in the world, there's no sight like that in lowland Scotland. On to Foel Figenau.Wycombe Wanderer10/10/2023
Followed the GerryBowes route.Moorponder03/07/2023
Parked at the end of the public road at SH 913 303. Followed GB's splendid route up the forest road, then a short ascent by the old fence posts at up ride/stream from SH 908 292 to the open ridge. Then nice walk along the ridge visiting Lledwyn Mawr, Foel Figenau to Cefn Coch; then a tough section through the heather to Foel Tyn-y-fron. Return retraced route, skirting Foel Figenau on south side, and then into the wood at the kink NE of Moel Cerigduon, along a channel between two rows of trees to the forest road. 16km with 660m ascent, taking me 5h 30m.silveracorn_alan08/04/2023

Pre-pub evening ramble with Wedgy. Taking in Lledwyn Mawr, Feel Figenau and Noel Maes-y-llech. Lots of sheep. ROWs pretty much non-existent.summitter29/05/2022
from 9122 3035 up forest track turn right over bridge tracks to 9084 2915 through plantation mature trees up fence to Lledwyn Mawr fence line and direct to moel Figenau fine hill no views return via 9114 2863 through mature plantation to forest track return same track 8ks 2hrs 30 mins easy navunderhill05/08/2021
From the side of the track (91230 30341) near Fedw and used the tracks to reach the fire break which leads onto open hillside, Lledwyn Mawr, round to foel Figenau and then a rather tedious heather bash to Cefn Coch and Foel Tyn y fron. Had to retrace my steps all the way back as I could not locate a forest track that would have made a loop of the walk. Five and a quarter hours for Nine and three quarter mile.WAYNE ROWLETT19/06/2021

From Figenau. Easy fence following excercise to within a few paces of top. A stroll towards the sliver of Llyn Tegid opens the view out a bit more. Rhinogs also visible. Continued along fence and then through the trees easily back to trackstig_nest16/06/2016

Last Dewey on a round of the four east of the main Aran ridge.chriswatson11/07/2014
Last hill on the longest day ever hillwalking. I reached the summit area in the dark and although it looked the highest point, the summit area is pretty flattish. According to my gps log I missed the summit by a smidgeon. My route was from Llangynog to Llanuwchllyn via Moel Dimoel, Cyrniau Nod, Cefn Gwyntog, Stac Rhos, Pen Y Boncyn Trefeilw, Pen Y Cerrig Duon, Foel Goch, Trum Y Gwragedd, Foel Y Geifr and Foel Figenau, navigating the last two miles from Lledwyn Mawr to Felindre farm B&B just outside Llanuwchllyn, in the dark, now that was an experience. I will be back to make sure of the summit some other time.Dazingdale06/05/2014
From Llanuwchllyn over Lledwyn Mawr and Fowl Figenau before hitting the Berwyn heather! Then out to Foel y Geifr before trudging back over Cefn Coch to Foel Tyn-y-fron. The descent was more pleasant!SS08/03/2014
Part of a great circular walk including Foel Goch and is-afon with a start/finish point of 913303.JohnStoneham05/05/2013
Hard through the heather to the summit of Foel Tyn-y-fron from Bwlch y Pawl. Over Cefn Coch, Foel Figenau (steep) and then Lledwyn Mawr. Dropped down to Bryn melyn and back to Coed Tyn-y-fedw to the start point at SH 90249 26527.MikeM04/05/2012
Easy parking at end of road to NNE. Cross the bridge and then gate and turn Right - not left towards the house - follow path until meet the wide forest road. A break in the forest(lost coords but I think 9087 2918) gets you out of the trees into open landdestaylor01/03/2012
