Logged Descriptions  (logged by 48 users)ByDate of Ascent
Rock outcrop in grassy clearing above beech wood. Autumnal colours. From footpath to N. Parked at former phone box at Plas road junction. Showery.Denise 14/10/2022
From the NE. Initially over pasture then track along base of woods on NW slope of hill before ascending through open Beech trees into shallow valley where we pick up a good track to the grassy ridge and on to the summit. High point crumbly rock breaking through grass. Lots more paths and tracks than mapped.RichardM14/10/2022
As gerrybowes. New bungalow still not completed, and unoccupied.PGCE21/08/2020
Tight parking at entrance to farm at 1420 1540 - Along farm road to newish bungalow just before farmhouse - Turned right & around side of bungalow (unoccupied) before making way up grass track to gate at 137158 - Over gate & a 75m stroll to summit outcrop. (S)gerrybowes29/10/2019
Continuation from 5182 Allt y Gader. The footpath S from SJ141174 disappears at the bend in the road and looks poor from the S end. I went SW on the wood footpath to the stile then generally S steeply to the summit through bracken (didn't see the track by the pheasant pen). Took a much easier descent route (recommended for ascent) - NE to SJ 14008 16243, N to SJ 14010 16355, SE to SJ 14095 16278, NE across the field to pick up the ROW to SJ 14253 16563 (climbed over fence as ROW not obvious) then N across field to the road.Jim.Fothergill25/11/2018
From start of farm track to SE. Noisy dogs shut up in trailers. Route around back of new build bungalow. Went onto Maes y Castell too. Interesting hills. With B and R.jenx24/11/2018
Complex hill right! Parked at high pt nr Farman the junction, noisy chained dogs then wrong hill avoiding farm. Second time lucky. With Jenx and Bryher, muddynordicstar24/11/2018

Parked on road to SW. Very windy.clivevilla11/01/2017
Complex and quite intriguing hill.Alex C22/04/2016
Parked at farm entrance to NE (SJ144165) picked up ROW, followed track to wood, steeply up to ridge then along to summit.Chris Peart21/10/2014
Parked at lane T-jct at SJ 13910 16975 - room for one car. Took Meifod-direction lane down over stream, then turned SW on RoW through field into wood. Continued on RoW in wood to broken stile, then followed fence up very steeply to minor north top, and hence to main top on little rocky ridge. To descend headed south to Bwlch y Grogfa, then west down through sheep pastures and over wooden fence by stream to re-join RoW running along west flank of the hill, and so back to start. I do not recommend my ascent route - horrible! Use my descent route to reach summit.Man of Kernow121/04/2014
after the struggle up Allt y Gader this was a real treat. started from REF 142167 into beech trees, followed track to stile then up steep/easy slopes to pheasant pen, then half right to pick up unmarked track which goes all way to summits. NE top visited first and great spot. true summit has superb wide views and a rocky crest split by farmers track. the SW top looks a whisker lower to me.stig_nest01/09/2013
park at 142154 at entrance to farm. uphill on tarred road bear right before farm by new house and up to first top only slightly lower than top , but 600m away. sheep.arranc05/05/2013
Parked at SJ136168 which was quite handy for the two hills.heavyhorses16/06/2012
P at track to M-Y-C. Followed track to Bwlch and through pasture to top.chrisbien14/03/2012
From SE with a little bit of GOML after I had bagged the top. Farmer looked stress with a lot of work on even on a Sunday. I chatted to him for 10 minutes and left on good terms.Dugswell226/02/2012
Parked to SE. Track all the way. Stroll.destaylor27/04/2011
Parking ok at SE but dogs loose on my visit. Farmer not impressed by me doing a Victoria Stilwell. He tried telling me there was no access but was ok after a chat. You'll do well to avoid him and the dogs.Halfdecent28/02/2011
Easy stroll up from SJ142154 along track. Checked top to south of Bwlch y Crogfa but it was about 5m lower. Farmer was friendlier than his dogs - but they were locked up.chriswatson03/02/2011
From SJ 132 152. A couple of summit lumps to choose from at SJ 137 159. Also visited SJ 136 155 to make sure, but it appears to be subordinate.summitsup30/01/2011
