The autobahn from the high point on the minor road west of Moel Morfydd to its summit and across the fire charred Moel y Gaer to Moel y Gamelin. Narrower and nicer paths below the northern slopes got us back to the campervan. | summitter | 20/06/2021 |

Glyndyfrdwy to Coedpoeth. Pleasant enough top dominated by the hills either side. Gamelin looks intimidating from here. The hideous eroded tracks are lethal when wet - I ended up on my bum a few times. | Jake994 | 08/04/2016 |
