Solo. Diagonally up south west flank curving around to gain summit from NW. Radio hams talking loudly on summit. Descended SE ridge with detour to find and explore the mine adit (located on left side of lowest tier of rocks). Grand viewpoint.Nick Canute03/06/2023

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 Anchovy08/06/2019

Good slog up here. Warm sunshine, hot for a February day. Sat and watched a military jet high up messing around. Sarnie time and just enjoyed the views. Saw no-one except for a farmer on descent back to car. Great day. Company: Soloiandesbottes22/02/2019
