The road on the E side is very narrow and has neither passing places nor parking places. Limited parking on sloping rocky patch (beware grounding) by phone box at SH155263. The RoW, NE, to Pwlldefaid was an impassable quagmire. Took to tarmac W of phone box for 100m then waymarked tk signed Talcen Foel (ignore any PRIVATE signs, it’s a RoW). Waymarkers ceased at the property (surprise), go 90 R on narrow PF to black gate and onto OA. To avoid worst of wind-stunted gorse take very thin FP, L, at white houseIsbjorn31/01/2024

8.8 mile circular from Aberdaron. Along minor roads north-west to Anelog then ascending by Gors Farm up to Mynydd Anelog's summit. We followed the coast path south to Mynydd Mawr (very spectacular cliff scenery here) then carried on over Pen Y Cil and along coast path back to Aberdaron. 625m ascent. Started in glorious sunshine but finished off in sea fog. Quite a few people about.DanTrig17/06/2022
Exhilarating circuit of the end of the Llyn Peninsula from Aberdaron via Whistling Sands and the coast path. Detoured to the summit of Mynydd Anelog on a day of sun, wind and choughs. Masters of the air. Thanks to Lesley and Ikuko. 12.5 miles, 2240ft ascent.GWR Chris03/10/2021

A splendid walk with Twice Shy (Alex) from the chapel. Up via the Pwlldefaid path to the east (one short boggy section) and then the cottages below the hill. Nice grassy path to the top, and lovely views. Back via the western path and track.Gill09/03/2018
Feel more at ease with this hill now, after the revisit, because the first time I was up here was before I'd started bagging. Stunning views eastwards right back to high snow covered Snowdonian peaks. And, of course, Ynys Enlli, which we'd only just returned from. Very memorable morning indeed.Twice Shy09/03/2018
From chapel parking to SSW, followed tracks and paths to summit.rhalstead24/12/2017
Pleasant circular walk on well marked paths from Uwchmynydd chapel on a very windy day - great viewpoint though the day wasn't clear. Promoted Marilyn not in my original list.JohnIvor14/10/2017
This was to be a great day Marilyn bagging on the Lleyn in calm weather conditions while my friends got wet walking near Tryfan. I parked near the chapel and had an easy walk up from there. I met another Marilyn bagger from Scotland at the top and had a nice chat on the way back down.Father Ted07/10/2017
With K from Chapel to S. Nice hillAshley25/07/2017
A few more days off work so I reasoned it was time to tidy up my North Wales Marilyns. The expected rough weather scuppered any chance of boating to Bardsey but I decided to visit the missing Lleyn tops anyway. First up turned out to Myn. Anelog. This because when I arrived in Porthmadog a biblical style thunderstorm rolled in. The weather had cleared by the time I got to Aberdaron but the tops were still in mist. Easy climb from the Uchmynydd chapel. Limited views when the mist parted.stig_nest19/07/2017
Easily up from chapel as others and path to summit above top craft cottage. In mist so no views.Lionel Bidwell15/07/2017
Space for several cars near chapel at SH155263 (note that there is another chapel shortly before you get to it). Went up via the track which starts just W of the chapel and heads NW. Circuit via the coastal path and coves on the way back.webmaster26/06/2017
From the church, up the lane to it's left, then gated track to self-catering cottage. More gates and paths to open hillside and straight up ridge behind another cottage. Saw nowt due to low cloud.Minto10/06/2017

Parking area by phone box and chapel in Ystolhelyg Bach. Well marked f/p towards Pwlldefaid, then below summit area ascending to the right of two hillside houses. What appears to be heather from a distance is actually short dense gorse, but a way through develops. Last Welsh and English Marilyn.Aye Jimmy17/04/2016
Do not park north on strip of land north of Pwlldefaid farm, as a quagmire. Had to get local farmer to tow me out. Not the easiest task first thing on New Year's Day. Thanks Tomas. Once out and safely parked further along road walked up to summit and enjoyed the views of Bardsea Island. Never visited these peaks before enjoyed all six of marilyns done today.

A 55 min return walk from Umchmynydd chapel. Delightful summit, easy paths through colourful heath, gorse. Brilliant colour in the late afternoon sunshine to round off a great day- we'd been on Bardsey earlier. The views showed what beautiful unspoilt countryside the Lleyn peninsula has,not a windfarm in sight.Special thanks to SOTA bagger Mick Coad, who informed me of Mynydd Analog's promotion BEFORE I went on holiday in Caernarfon with my brother Pete. Pete was especially grateful, closing in on all the Welsh Marilyns with Bardsey visited today.pwheeler18/09/2013

slightly misted, fascinating metal animal sculptures adorning the gate and approaches to the house just below its east side. Also, being day of the full moon, my bag was followed by mad dash across the Pennines to join 'Encircling the Land with Sacred dance' circle dancing in Leo, that evening, held for first time in Selby Abbey!! Two bits of madness in one day!!vegibagger21/08/2013

Parked to NE just passed farm track which was then followed to gain hillside. Steep direct ascent was rewarded with a good view of Bardsey Island. Saw Martin Richardson's Van but managed to avoid him this time. Looks tall enough to be a full Marilyn.Dugswell205/03/2011
