Walked up on a round of Drybedd and Disgwylfa Fawr. Drybedd hard ground rough, much hummock. Started just south of the cattle grids either side of the Hirnant. Took a more or less direct line to Drybedd. There is a barbed wire fence to negotiate. The descent followed the fence on Bryn llwyd back to the road at a third cattle grid. Crossed the field directly to the footbridge. Followed the track to where there is a choice of two gates. Took the one on the right and climbed steeply to Disgwylfa Fawr. The return was down to the fords north of the fort and back along the track to the start. The walking on Disgwlfa Fawr was much better. Mainly short, sheep cropped grass and some other bits of hummock. | MikeM | 16/05/2015 |
Easy parking to NW. Good track to gate by power lines then DIY - only bits of paths. | destaylor | 05/08/2014 |

Parked at GR758847 junction with forestry road, room for several cars. Walked forestry road and went through gate shortly after passing under power cables then climbed steeply up grass slope to summit. Good views all round on a cold windy but dry day. With SH and Ron. | wombourne | 08/04/2014 |
Used the track from west. Lots of deep fresh snow. | Martin R | 11/02/2014 |
From Eisteddfa gurig (pvte car park £3 in honesty box) then west through forest as map showed a bog if you go SW around it. Well, it was all bog. And fell in river. Reckon best done from West where the track or bridleway start, then stay on high ground. | dicky | 05/05/2013 |
