From Aberllefenni on two night backpack. Followed Nuttall route through forest. Devastation just above the village with recent clear felling. Grassy knolls, great views.mick04/05/2016
Solo walk using the Aberllefenni bus service. Some muddy forestry tracks at the start, then a nice uphill footpath which disappeared at some point. I took a more direct route and ended up climbing the little cliff of Mynydd y Waun. Very glad to finally make the top of Mynydd Ceiswyn. Hanging cloud obscuring Cadair Idris. Onwards to Waun-oer.thesweetcheat09/05/2015

Parked at Aberllefenni by the field studies centre. Walked northwards on the tracks before taking the right of way north west onto the ridge. Once on top the weather started to tip it down and visibility became negligible.garyhoney20/07/2002
