Aber falls was a fab discovery - but very busy. But the crowds are quickly left behind. It's a difficult choice as to when to turn left to Llwytmor, but talking to another walker who turned left a lot later couldn't find a better path further up. Nice to visit the main ridge again.andrewroberts04/06/2023

Parking up at the Aber waterfall car park, I made my way to the falls, after so much rain of the previous days the waterfall was looking spectacular. There is a path that goes right and you come across the smaller waterfall Rhaiadr bach where there is a bridge to cross. After crossing the Afon Gam go left up the valley keeping to the right, you will soon pick up a path that will take you to the top of the valley. From here its quite straight forward,heading for the summit crossing, you go right here and should be able to see the rocky outcrop.Buckleymon22/11/2022
