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

Indistinct point on pathless heathery ridge but still glowing with damson gin from Foel CedigDenise 24/11/2018
29km circuit from Pennant Melangell; after Stac Rhos. Puzzled by this summit, we checked the DoBIH note and realised the higher summit immediately to the N, aka Cefn Gwyntog Far North Top (Bridge), turned out in retrospect to be my final Bridge - bonus:-) - although probably crossed this top before.RHW24/11/2018

Visited by mistake as Rob and Jon were taking an unusual interest in this insignificant heathery rise.RichardM24/11/2018
Followed the Nuttall's route. Lovely sunny day with a nice cool breeze. It turned out this was the 1000th hill I've logged on this site - a bit of an anticlimactic one, perhaps I should have skirted around it.Herbert Anchovy23/06/2018

Nuttalls walk 7.5. Had to look hard at the GPS for this one. Surely cannot have been considered as a separate top?Crib Goch13/04/2016

an interesting though sometimes arduous walk through 7 of the hirnant peaks. good tracks a lot of the way, the bits without tracks proving hard going, lovely day though and not another person seen along all the (off road) route.stig_nest23/04/2007
