| First hike back at uni | Tarkus | 21/09/2019 |
| Set off in beautiful clear dry weather. At summit cloud closed in, fairly heavy rain bursts and wind gusts of 50mph - had difficulty standing upright ! | Mickeyfinn | 04/09/2019 |
| From NE starting at Tyn y Coed hotel CP about 200m NW of start of private road, parking £3. Good road then good track to 375m reservoir, then dilapidated and very wet path past 535m lake and onto steep and scrambly east ridge. NE ridge would have been nicer and probably easier. Descended NNE and soon picked up path NNE down to 250m, then track east to footbridge, a much nicer and easier route than route of ascent. | Topographer57 | 23/08/2019 |

| Fantastic days walking, climbed through the cloud to be rewarded with a glimpse of a sunlit mountain top across the valley through a chink in the cloud, then a few minutes later and a bit more climbing brought us into bright sunlight, clear blue sky with the valleys full of cloud. Slowly the valleys cleared too. To cap it all on the way down, a large cloud formed in the valley and blew towards us, with the low sun behind us we were rewarded with a brilliant Brocken Specter, amazing day. | Bernard | 17/11/2018 |
