O what an unworthy log. Driven here by Iain Brown on a damp afternoon. Damaged trig lost its spider metal. FB S5649 fortunately still there | vegibagger | 01/10/2023 |
Parked on tarmac and walked the 70 m. to the trig pt., which we could have driven round on a good track. Useful for assessing weather- heavy showers but high summits not in cloud. With Pete | pwheeler | 21/09/2023 |
Avoided the Squadies & sheep, more a drive around than a drive-by. | tim747 | 23/09/2022 |
Road open to the public. Drove up, and a short dash to the summit. | LizH | 30/05/2022 |
En passant. | Chris Peart | 02/08/2019 |
Drove up on minor road from south; this included an unusual 1 mile stretch of single-track dual carriageway. From minor road, a 70m drive along decent track to trig point inside turning circle. (S) | gerrybowes | 22/07/2019 |
They don't get much easier than this, even the car made it to the summit. Short drive from road along track to turning circle with high point and trig at centre. Frosty, -5C and not a breath of wind. Great views of the Black Mountains to the S. | RichardM | 04/01/2019 |
Trig by road within tussocky sheep pasture near pine plantation. Possible to drive on short track. | Denise | 03/01/2019 |
'Road access only' only across the moor today. Squadies in the army Landrover with big aerial couldn't be bothered with a biker running over the summit. | Eddie | 12/09/2018 |
Drive-up with Doug and Alex | Tony J | 31/12/2017 |
Revisit with Alex and Tony by driving in from the south before heading north to Gwibedog Tump trig and the German Village. | Dugswell2 | 31/12/2017 |

Nice drive along military road and short walk to trig | Ramblingpaul | 26/08/2015 |
The drive through the ranges was more interesting than the top. | Colin Crawford | 25/06/2015 |
4/13 Easy bag as military road was open briefly ! | Fergalh | 30/05/2015 |
Buy a Sherman Tank to reach this top perhaps? For £50,000 you can buy one off the web - amazing what ex-military stuff there is for sale. Or else await a non red-flying day to drive up in your normal day to day car passing through the firing ranges. | Chris Pearson | 05/11/2014 |
Too wet & windy to go Nuttalling, especially after yesterdays soaking. 
Drive right up to trig so feel guilty about claiming bag. Still walked last 5m to take photo. | mntainman | 20/02/2014 |
Near enough a roadside HuMP, but on a military road that is not always open to the public; today it was. Drove off the metalled road, right to the summit, so perhaps our easiest HuMP bagged and a hotine trig to sweeten it! | jonglew | 20/07/2013 |

Drive up job, road was open according to MOD signs but as soon as I stopped and went to the Trig a spooky black 4x4 slowed and observed me... | dicky | 05/01/2013 |
My Garmin Car Satellite Navigation led me a right dance as the 'military' road was not on it. From south take the road from Llywel and its an excellent road all the way. Easy parking. | destaylor | 15/03/2012 |

Trig point in good condition, number S5649. Trig some 30m from road. | Rob Pen y Garn | 11/08/2008 |
Revisit. Wide view. Can drive to trig when road open to public, which it usually seems to be (crosses MoD range) | RHW | 18/03/2006 |
Roadside Trig | Rhayader_wander | 31/12/2005 |
Hiked in from Halfway,after ordnance briefing at Sennybridge Camp. Obtained a range pass, and access permission, from the duty sergeant. Staying in a cottage south of Rhayader. | Man of Kernow1 | 03/01/2003 |
