Llandewi was pretty full of parked cars as the funeral of a farmer's wife was taking place. Followed the ROW NNE to SO 11108 69542 then followed the ridge ESE/ENE for the views to a missing gate at SO 11433 69605 and on to the summit. Returned the same way apart from going direct between the listed grid refs. | Jim.Fothergill | 28/08/2018 |

From Llandewi, up ROW which was evident, to its W side. Over new barbed wire fence- unecessarily- to reach extensive and impressive hill fort and unmarked summit. By going down its S side we went through a gap in the fence and down a little valley to rejoin the ROW. Pleasant, on a warm day, high cloud with a few breaks. Good visibility. With brother, Pete | pwheeler | 29/04/2017 |
