| Last of a mountain loop from Cray, Nedd, Gyhirych, Cefn Cul . Fairly nondescript summit plateau with 2 high points. Then down to Swansea valley for bus. | richardrosser | 26/02/2019 |
| Small parking area on W. side of road at SN85564 22345 - W. along track for about 50yd to start of ATV track - Up ATV track which eventually disappears, but nevertheless a straightforward ascent over decent terrain to the unmarked summit; the cairned top 100m to the NW, which at first sight appears higher, is 7cm lower.

| Parked at SN 85564 22345 then headed straight up Moel Feity. Back down, over the road and fence then up to Cefn Cul. Easy going, some slightly boggy ground but plenty of sheep tracks to follow. | Neolith | 20/07/2017 |
| From minor road to SE. Easy going. Visited all possible tops. The highest one didn't have a pile of rubble (long may it remain so) unlike the one to its NW. | Alan Moore | 17/06/2017 |
| From road to E. Flat grassy top. Had a walk over to the other 590m contours, nothing much in it really. | jonglew | 21/03/2017 |

| Walked on a round of Yr Allt, Moel Feity and Cefn Cul. Parked in the layby at SN 87739 20244. Walked NE on A4067 to pick up tram way at SN 88088 20587. Followed tramway to where it crosses Nant Gihirych and then walked E keeping forest on right. Came out on track above forest at SN 90190 20842 and then to top of Yr Allt. Walked back to track and left it where it does a S bend and crossed moorland to SN 89247 81854. Followed track down to A4067. Crossed to Cray reservoir and followed track to Blaencrai. Used field path to Cwm Padest then road to Cwnnenynydd. Turned L and followed track up to sheep pens and crossed moor to road. Out and back to Moel Feity. Then across moor and up to top of Cefn Cul. Followed track and eventually walls down to SN 87116 19657. Followed old railway bed NE back to layby. Route follows a mixture of sheep trods, tracks, some vague, and moorland walking. Good views of Fan Gyhirych, Fan Hir and Fan Byrcheiniog. Quite a few barbed wire fences to negotiate. | MikeM | 25/07/2015 |

| Parked at layby by stile but had to go 100m uphill to cross bog. Going tussocky to start but got better on way to Cefn Cul. Returned to col over better ground then easily up Moel Feity on shorter grass. Returned same way and down road to car. | SS | 18/03/2015 |
