| Parked at SH 8231 3924 for a circuit of 3 Dodds, 2 Nuttalls, 2 ex-Nuttalls and a repeat Marilyn. 8/8. Visited both summits. Descended directly North, to avoid the wind and rain. Passed the small reservoir and reached the road near the ruined works. Short walk along road to car. | PGCE | 25/01/2024 |

| Birthday walk with Paletta. Chose to do the arenigs as they looked so striking from the A4212 on a recent trip. Parked opposite quarry at blocked off carpark. The route which was from Trail mag was labelled easy which probably warrants a complaint letter to them. The route took us south east of the quarry between Daear Fawr and Gelli deg. Any semblance of a path was quickly lost, it was raining and visibility poor. We ended up bashing around in very inhospitable Heather full of deep rivets and surprise holes, the large rocks all seemed unstable and wanted to move, quite litreally everything was slippy. We bashed around here wasting all our energy for 2 hours cursing Trail magazine. My boots were full of water from the get go. We eventually found the higher ground and some vague paths. Once we were on the ridge it was much better and it was apparent that the majority of elevation had been achieved in the Heather struggle. Found moel Lechwed thanks to its big stick, carried on to the fai | tumpawumpa | 23/10/2022 |

| With Richie from SH823392. Revisits of Moel Lechwedd and Arenig Fawr (also 22/09/08) followed by AF South Top, Carreg y Diocyn, AF South Ridge Top and Moel Llyfnant. Very wet and windy and the cloud only started to clear when we got to Llyfnant. Nice sunny decent and lovely walk down to Amnodd-wen, during which the birds, which had all been cowering in the undergrowth, suddenly sprang to life. We were treated to good views of a hen harrier, cuckoo, sparrowhawk, redstarts and buzzard. | Herbert Anchovy | 08/06/2019 |

| Solo. Hot and sunny. Long dry spell meant bogs were not a problem throughout the route. This was first of a 10 peak route. | Aimless Rambler | 26/05/2017 |

| Arenig Fawr, Arenig Fawr South Top & South Ridge Tops, Moel Llyfnant from Pont Rhys-y-Fen. Followed Nuttall route as far as Moel Llyfnant then along fence down North ridge back to disused railway and return to road. Beautiful day with blue sky, frozen ground, cloud inversion. Arenig Fawr is one of Wales's hidden gems .... a big rugged mountain with views encompassing most of North and Mid Wales. Highly recommend ... walked solo but saw no-one all day until I summited Moel Llyfnant. | jamessteel100 | 26/11/2016 |
