| 4/5 Parked in the road side parking area at the end of the public road at SH 696 512. Followed RoW up past Coed Mawr, up to the old sheep fold at SH 676 525. Then small track to the ridge near Bwlch Maen Pig. Headed north along the ridge to Carnedd y Cribau, and on to Clogwyn Bwlch y maen. Turned round and followed ridge back to the col at Bwlch y Rhediad, then south up to Cerrig Cochion, and Moel Meirch. At the tarn crossed the fence and headed SE along the ridge of Yr Arddu, and down to the RoW, which I followed back to the car. A small, clear, albeit often very wet track most of the way. A round trip of 17km with 930m ascent in 6 hours. | silveracorn_alan | 14/04/2022 |
| A round of Moel Meirch, Ysgafell Wen North top, Ysgafell Wen and Druman. Lost path in ascent of Moel Meirch which cost me time but not much difficulty. Ridge with diversions to each of tops fairly straightforward but initial lost time meant I had to pass on Allt-Fawr - left for another day. Descent line from Druman not clear to start with but a very good path from point where it turns sharply tyo west. | dickscroop | 13/01/2022 |
