| From the Afon Mawddach Bridge. Bridleway from Cwmhesgen to fold at 79971 30525.

| From Ffridd yr Allt-llwyd keeping to the RoW as much as possible. Wellies were the right choice but still up to my knees in the bog twice. Back to road head in Cwm yr Allt-lwyd. | Chris Peart | 13/11/2021 |

| 1/4 Deweys from the end of the road in Cwm yr Allt-Lwyd at SH 788 292. Followed cart track easily past house and up to edge of moor, then across ridge which was tough going in the heather to Mynydd Bryn-llech, returned by edge of forest (slightly easier-ATV track) to cart track and then took a bee line to Ffridd yr Allt-Lwyd and back down to the car (all easy goingover this one). Then up south side of the valley, following indistinct track to where RoW crosses fence at SH 786 285 and on towards Rhobell Ganol, branching off before the marshy depression to go the splendid summit of Rhobell-y-big. Then sheep tracks across the depression and up to Rhobell Ganol. Finally back to the car using the indistinct RoW. (13km with 800m ascent in about 4h. (S) | silveracorn_alan | 19/09/2020 |
| 6/6 - now very dark and headtorch failed - dry, mostly clear skies, increasing wind. Start point was parking at junction forest track/gated road (parking limited). Almost entirely path free rough and boggy ground | wychwood | 11/01/2020 |
| Parked at Llanuwchllyn cemetery for a 13.2 mile walk to reach the summits of Craig Dolfudr, Craig Dolfudr north top, Mynydd Bryn-llech and Ffridd yr Allt-llwyd in six and half hours. pathless and heather making this walk a tough day out. | WAYNE ROWLETT | 28/06/2019 |
| Pleasant Dewey / TuMP circuit from bridge in Dolhendre. Foel y Graig, Craig y Llestri, camped before ascent to Ffridd yr Allt-llwyd, then Mynydd Bryn-llech, Craig Dolfudr North Top [Pennant-Lliw], Craig Dolfudr | RobertP | 31/03/2019 |
| From Allt lwyd. Gate at 799302 then intermittent track to stiles at 807311. Rough going in some places but very dry. Just over 2.5 hours for both Deweys. Solo. | bolton | 08/06/2018 |
| Parked near phone box Dolhendre, over bridge and through Coed Bryn Bras, followed fence till near top then to Craig Dolfudr, across to North Top then some heavy heather bashing to Mynydd Bryn-llech.Then down faint path to Buarthmeini.Not an easy day. | dgresty | 11/04/2017 |
| Parked on hardstanding by road/track junction at 788292 (Space for 2-3 cars) After ascent of Ffridd yr Allt-llwyd, dropped down to gate at 798302 & then up RoW/ATV track to stile at 806311 From stile, 300yds across heather & tussock grass to unmarked summit. (S) | gerrybowes | 31/03/2017 |
| Continuation of walk from Ffridd yr Allt-lwyd. Returned to track to the north by outward route, then down to ford Afon Cwmhesgen. Then worked our way north-east over rough pathless boggy terrain to fence corner at SH 803 313. Then east to the summit. To return, followed fence from the corner south over Y Ddau Faen Llwyd, then SSW over very marshy ground to rejoin the outward track. With AT and JT. | Man of Kernow1 | 12/11/2016 |
| Craig Dolfudr, Craig Dolfudr North Top and Mynydd Bryn Llech. Parked at 828325 but they put a note on my windscreen telling me it was private. More or less pathless and much harder than it looks on paper. | clivevilla | 05/11/2016 |
| Do not attempt this from the N.W. where the footpath goes into the forest. I managed to park here but the going was awful, boggy and deep sinky heather. | DARRENG | 29/08/2015 |
| Moel y Feidiog,Bryn-pig,Craig y Dinas,Ffrith yr Allt-llwyd,Craig y Llestri (from Ffridd yr Allt-llwyd onwards forget about paths - they do not exist) Craig Dolfudr,Craig Dolfudr North Top,Mynydd Bryn-llech 9hr 10 min walk over pathless heather and squelch. Not recommended. | ijpowell | 01/05/2015 |
| From Dolhendre telephone box, easily following paths to Craig Dolfudr. Bit rougher to north top then heather to ROW below Mynydd Bryn-llech. Most of that pull on grass but return via ROW to Buarthmeini involved more heather and some interesting knee deep bog. Slow progress! | SS | 15/02/2015 |
| Parked easily to NW. Took wellies and put them on where track opens onto hill - there is a gate and stile about 10m north but a bit hidden. Wise decision. Basically followed forest edge - bits of path and plenty bog. With 450m to go set off for summit enjoying plenty of fairly high heather. | destaylor | 08/04/2014 |
| Climbed after Ffridd yr Allt-Ilwyd, started in Dolhendre. | JohnStoneham | 30/06/2013 |
| From Ffridd yr Allt-Llwyd, mostly following the sketchy path of the right of way to Pennant Lliw, returned the same but continued down into Cwm yr Allt-Llwyd. Lovely hill of bog and deep heather! | steve hudson | 26/04/2013 |
| Parked at SH 79361 33208 just of road near footpath sign. Then wettish route to ridge and eventually the summit with Chris Watson. | Dugswell2 | 25/11/2012 |
| A typical Dewey trudge from the forest edge to the north. Lots of bog followed by some nice deep heather. Glad we left Craig Dolfudr for another day having seen Smudge's log. | chriswatson | 25/11/2012 |
| An energy sapping approach from Craig Dolfudr. Use of the boggy path line to the south west will be easier than following high ground. | Smudge | 16/10/2010 |
| Solo, 2 and half hours around 3 Deweys to S of road having spent the same time doing tops to north of road. Nobody seen all day -unsurprisingly. All at the Christmas sales perhaps? Although Rob was here the day before I notice from his log! On my way from Sheffield to Leeds via here. | Chris Pearson | 27/12/1997 |
