Parked in layby next to Talybont reservoir, did a loop going up to Bryn, then along to Waun Rydd before decending via Allt Lwyd. Very soft underfoot, foggy and windy, no views but a good day out.lboutside16/03/2024

Loop from Blaen-y-Glyn waterfalls upper carpark - Pant Y Creigiau, Bryniau Gleision and Allt Lwyd. Heading up directly from valley south. path sort of there, but mainly just pushing through bracken and heather - steep route, would not really recommendchelec17/06/2023

From the car park in Taf Fechan forest to the South East, a Sixteen and a quarter mile route over Craig Gwaun, Corn Du, Pen y Fan, Cribyn, Fan y Big, Bwlch y Ddwyallt, Waun Rydd and Allt Lwyd with 400ft of ascent and taking Seven and half hours. Returning via the Beacons way and Taff trail.WAYNE ROWLETT21/01/2023
From car park on the Tal y Bont reservoir, followed Nuttall's route over Allt Lwyd. As others have noted some welcome path improvements on the upper part. Top in cloud as was the ridge and route to Carn Pica and Waun Rydd. Came out of the cloud descending to Twyn Du. Remember backpacking over the Waun Rydd ridge many years ago on a vague path through muddy peat hags - much improved today. Wind and showers all afternoon. With Gillianrichard6931/12/2022
From the parking area next to Talybont reservoir, following the Nuttals route over Allt Lwyd. Filthy weather, gales and rain, but the visibility did clear on the way back across the summit plateau. 10.75kmRockdoctor30/12/2022

Parked at Talybont Reservoir parking near the base of the bridleway and walked up it along a well defined path to the summit. Fine as an up and back, but better to combine with Waun Rydd and make more of a day of it.JazDisney31/07/2021
