Solo, Black Mountains Loop from Mynydd Du car park. | paulh79 | 04/03/2023 |
Started from Gospel Pass, walked up to Twmpa, carried on to Rhos Dirion and gave the trig point a high5, heading along a decently muddy gravel path to Twyn Tal-y-cefn continuing all the way down to 	Chwarel y Fan where breakfast was inhaled, doubled back and followed track down to Capel-y-ffin for a little bit of road walking before tackling the disgusting switch backs onto the Darren Lwyd spur and heading back to Twmpa (still in the clag) before ambling back down to Gospel Pass | lboutside | 11/02/2023 |

Last minute decision on the day saw it and just parked at the foot of it as no real preparation or indeed knowledge of where Gospel Pass was. Neither did we heed the advice of HMHB and take a jumper. Twas windy for me Sue and the Boo | Alphaville199 | 28/06/2022 |
