Firm verge parking on Bwlch Glynmynydd at SN 8661 9923 - Up bridleway to 852983 & then picked up a path/trod along N. side of fence to the summit knoll. Good view of Cadair Idris. (S) | gerrybowes | 29/09/2021 |
From Bwlch Glynmynydd. | PGCE | 11/02/2021 |
Sweaty ascent SE in mild weather under grey skies across sheep pasture. Summit is apparently on tumulus to N of fence. Descended NE over boggy terrain in rain. | Denise | 21/10/2020 |
Via the grassy W slope - remarkably easy terrain for Access Land! On circular walk from Abercegir, starting to rain. | RichardM | 21/10/2020 |
From Bwlch Glynmynydd - parking for 3-4 cars by the roadside. Took the bridleway up to its highest point, then followed the fence west on its northern side to the summit. Onwards to Bryn y Fedwen 405m. Solo. | Man of Kernow1 | 19/01/2020 |
Nice hill. From Gydrhos, we walked up to Ty-newydd and up the bridleway onto access land. Being mid-Wales, it wasn't quite straightforward as we had to cross a new barbed wire fence at SN846983. Good views of the surrounding area and a well-defined top, so shelter from the wind. With brother, Pete. | pwheeler | 18/09/2018 |
Quite a stretch to make it up here and back from Mach with just 4.5 hours between buses, but I was well rewarded for my efforts today with absolutely stunning all round views. Amazing hill. | Alex C | 09/05/2017 |
8/9 on wet misty windy day (Yr Allt/Bryn-y-Tail/Bryn Y Fan/Dinas/Pen Y Waun-Fawr/Banc Bronderwgoed/Bryn y Fedwen/Moelfree/llanerch-Yr-Allt) | Fergalh | 18/03/2017 |
Nice easy walk with the kids. 
Fell off the fence at the top. | RobinPrince | 31/07/2016 |
As Arranc although I did not see any brides on the bridal path he describes. Maybe he meant bridle path although I didn't see any horses either. Still, a lovely walk of just over a mile each way. | clivevilla | 23/07/2015 |
Easy walk from road bend to north east where there is room for a couple of cars. Excellent teach along ridge and then good ground to summit. | Campbell Singer | 05/07/2015 |
As destaylor. | Chris Peart | 12/07/2014 |
Pleasant green bridal path up on dew-covered path to a fence on the ridge. Through a gate to join a metalled track on the south side heading straight for the hill on the horizon. Over heather and swampy grass to follow a wire fence to the knoll at the top. Highest point was to east of BWF. 10.00. | arranc | 01/09/2012 |
Easy parking on bend to NE. Track until fence then a very good track after the gate. | destaylor | 29/09/2011 |
From SN 866 992. | summitsup | 24/07/2011 |
Cracking all round views apart from carno wind farm. Parked at the road to the north east which is already a 1000ft up. | DARRENG | 25/10/2010 |
