Parked on B4407 at SH 79275 44817, easily crossed Afon Conwy (dry weather)with easy walk up grassy hillside to summit. Now 3 new electric fences to cross as well as old netting fence. Electric fences easy to negotiate, provided you don't mind crawling across the moss on your belly! 2.6km with 130m ascent in a round tripof just 50mins. (S)silveracorn_alan20/09/2020

Parked at lay-by opposite waterworks on B4407 at SH 80939 45347. Crossed the Afon Conwy by a bridge and followed RoW up Cwm Serw to the bothy at Cefngarw. After lunch headed back to high point on the track, and then followed a fence north up and along the ridge, diverting NE via a gate to the summit - a fine viewpoint. Descended north to the Afon Conwy, which was crossed with some difficulty. Then up to road and back to car. With AW, MP and 'Dafydd'.Man of Kernow128/12/2013
