9 peaks over 2k 21 miles loop with Peggydavecnash19/07/2023
Parked the van at Bryn y Beddau and took a good track up towards Pumlumon Fach, which gives easy access to Pumlumon Fawr. Then along the summit ridge path to its two East Tops and on to Pen Cerrig Tewion and Pen Pumlumon Arwystli. Still plenty of time in the day so went north to bag the summits of Carnfachbugeilyn and Pumlumon Cwmbiga. Returned via Bryn Cras and down to a wet path besides the Afon Hengwm.summitter29/11/2022

Filling in unclimbed peaks did a round of Fedw-Ddu, Esgair Greolen, Carnfachbugeilyn, Pumlumon Cwmbiga and Cwm Y Derw. Not a great choice as many of the upper parts are pathless 10 1/2 miles, just over 4 hours.clivevilla04/07/2018
