A round of Pen Carreg Gopa and associated Tumps from Furnace car park. Very tough going (deep bracken, endless brambles, deep tufted grass / slashed forest) perfectly designed to put your partner of Hump / Tump bagging!BaggerGutt03/12/2022
Parked in wide track entrance by Badger Lodge at SH 7082 9389 - Along track to start of some stone walling on left, about 350m beyond Pemprys - Made way up between large areas of dead bracken, easily over an old wire fence & then decent enough going to the summit cairn. 10 ponies grazing at around 380m.

From by Badger Lodge, up the track to Pemprys then more or less straight up and down Pen Carreg Gopa and then Foel Einion on the other side of the valley. Both quite steep and mainly pathless.clivevilla21/04/2021

Tussocky going from the east, Pen y Darren [Moel Hyddgen]. Easy down to the SW to the ruined Pemprys and then to the parking at the picnic area at SN 70757 94016 near Badger Lodge. Alan Moore08/04/2017
Approach was from the Artists Valley over Foel Einion first. Route onward to Moel Gors Goch in the forest pretty dismal indeed.Alex C03/09/2015

Thanks for tips Des, but I continued well beyond crags, bracken, etc before climbing over grass to cross wire fence.arranc04/08/2014
Dovey Junction circular. Followed ridge from W (2 hours of knee deep uncertainty) before rapid descent S to Pemprys track.Smudge09/03/2014
Easy parking Badger Lodge. Good track to Pemprys. Zig zag to top mainly longish grass.destaylor30/09/2011
Went further round than Darren to reduce the torture - not really. So came back his way.Martin R29/08/2011
Parked in the car park to the south west by the ford. Followed a good track past the badger lodge and onto pemprys where the track runs east before turning north. Then a direct ascent up the steep hill.The last few hundred metres are tortuoisDARRENG11/07/2011
