With: solo; Nuttalls walk 7.5. Good dry day with light wind and high cloudIan Baines09/10/2022
Updated Nuttall 7.5 from Bwlch yr Hwch: Foel Goch, Trum y Gwragedd (Trum y Gwrgedd), Foel y Geifr, Pen y Cerrig Duon, Pen y Boncyn Trefeilw, Stac Rhos, Cefn Gwyntog North Top, Cefn Gwyntog, Cefn Gwyntog Far North Top, Foel Cedig and Y Groes Fagl. Haxy, dull day, so there weren't even good views to distract from the relentless trudge through heather.Lazylizzie03/09/2022
8th and last mountain of the day, again keeping to the track, you can clearly see a 6ft post on the top, as you come to a left bend where a path goes to the right, follow this right path for about 150 yards to find the top. Come back to the track and follow this through the forest back to where you started. This was approx. 3 mile walk.Buckleymon15/08/2022

Although an insignificant top, probably the best view of the group because Snowdon isn't impeded by other peaks in front of it.Nick Canute05/03/2022
