Third summit on trefonen hill walk. The moelydd is a mysterious area I feel. There were beers being imbibed at the summittumpawumpa27/05/2017
Part of Trefonen hill walk. Last peak, was quite wet, keen to get it over with as my feet were covered in blisters. With tumpawumpaBannerzBaggins27/05/2017
I was one of the 'Across the Cynllaith' revellers imbibing them! 'It's all downhill from here', I was reliably informed. And they were right. My poison of choice was an IPA from the East Midlands whose name escapes me. Most of the climbing is done on the leafy footpath just after the eclectic fence (approaching from WSW). No false summits at all. With tumpawumpanwormgage27/05/2017

Found hard to access, had to get permission of some landowners for the route we took. I like trying to spot this bill from around oswestry as it is strangely elusivetumpawumpa04/04/2015
From SE: signposted turning head has some limited parking. Offas Dyke sign marks summit.RHW14/03/2015
Climbed as part of Offas dyke trail to summit where there is a viewfinder. Very windy on top on my trip. Hazy light in distance but can imagine views would be great on a clear day.Dazingdale02/11/2013
