Parked at upper Tanygrisiau car park and took the lower SW footpath (faint at times) up towards the dam and around the upper cwm to Bwlch Stwlan. Clear ridge path out and back to Moelwyn Bach and along to Craigysgafn, Moelwyn Mawr and Moel yr hydd. Return to 566m bwlch and SE descent to tarmac road from power station. Hot but hazy half day walk, very dry underfoot. Solorichard6912/06/2023

Moel-yr-hydd, Molwyn Mawr and Molwyn Bach circular walk from Tanygrisiau. If you follow the footpath on the OS map, it’s hard to find the path. I went upward scrambling, then finally got to the top and found an actual path. Then it was clear to the summit. From Moel-yr-Hydd, there’s a clear path to Molwyn Mawr, a trig point at the top. I went along the ridge as it’s interesting. From Molwyn Mawr, there’s nothing small about Molwyn Bach. You head down to the right and you have to cross two mounds to get the start of the path which is clear to the summit, it’s quite steep. I went over to some interesting stones and pools of water and then descended by the Tanygrisiau reservoir, which has a tarmac path all the way back to the car park.Skarletk26/02/2022
