From CP. Parking meter not working usually £5 or free for NT members. Walk up south side. Bit of scrambling towards top. Back the same way. | M6KIO | 05/09/2023 |
A new circular walk for me from Arthog, up the waterfalls, past the lakes onto Pared y Cefn-hir (splendid viewpoint), then along the rail to Kings YH and down to Abergwynant and back along the old railway track. With the GSAL Scouts and Explorers during a very wet Scout Camp. 16km with 700m ascent taking 5 hours. | silveracorn_alan | 15/07/2023 |
5 mile walk from Arthog via waterfalls and lakes with my 88 year old dad and Erin .. | milejunkie | 13/02/2023 |

A fabulous looking hill with one of the best views being that from the car park at SH 6577 1433 - N. to high point of road & then well-used path, including a short scramble, up ridge to the summit rock. Excellent view across Mawddach estuary to the Lleyn & Bardsey. Also, SE to Cadair. (S) | gerrybowes | 23/11/2021 |
Great Little Hill Shame about the weather. Fun Drive to get to the Car Park taking the road coming from the North. Then a Lovely scramble to the top. Would have liked to extend the route but the weather was a bit wet and windy. Will Definitely return to explore the area more | Jephcote83 | 18/10/2021 |

From Cregennan lakes car park, clear path to the summit. Like most, we enjoyed this hill immensely. We continued the traverse, always entertaining, along a thin trod after the HP, to Ty'n llidiart. We'd have crossed over to Bryn Brith but couldn't spot a feasible route without considerable descent. One could return from Ty'n llidiart to the the car park easily- I'd recommend this if you only want to go on this hill, but we continued a lovely walk via Kings YH to Craig y Castell (Ma:qv) and back via the N shore of Llyn Gwernan. With Pete. | pwheeler | 10/09/2018 |
Pared y Cefn Hir and Bryn Brith from the obvious car park for the lake. It was misty and became rainy so I did not know what I was taking on. I still do not really but both were steep and involved hands - at least they did the way I went but I could not really see to choose a route. | clivevilla | 18/08/2018 |
great little peak from the car park, 
2 merlins and peregrine seen, | johnowen | 13/07/2018 |

With Bev, nice little scramble from car park. | simon and co | 10/06/2016 |
Climbed with Jody, Cregennan lakes are her favourite place so the top seemed like a good spot to get engaged :D We had always thought this one was called Bryn Brith, seems that's a hill for another day! | the_adam | 27/10/2015 |
Nice peak to climb with great views. | kevandroo | 03/09/2015 |

Began at Barmouth and went up Pen y Garn for the trig first. On the way down from Bryn Brith I found a barely used compass mislaid in a random bog. | Alex C | 21/05/2013 |

On a rainy day, walked up from the carpark to visit the fort. We were treated to a lovely rainbow display. Had a mooch round the heathery southern slopes to look for the overgrown Bronze Age cairn and came across a hut circle, unmarked on the OS. | thesweetcheat | 03/03/2012 |

From car park. Easy to get the wrong ridge. | destaylor | 17/03/2011 |
Smaashing rocky ridge with a good path. Stunning aspect from Llynnau Cregennau car park. Four gates on road from Arthog; two each side of car park. | chriswatson | 06/11/2010 |
climbed up from car park in mist - not as steep as it looks from the road - but stll steep - why is it twinned with Bryn Brith - 2 seperate hills | Phil M | 07/08/2010 |

A beautiful 'Matterhorn shape' and lake. Ran uphill (KIMM training) working hard, nice circuit along ridge linking Pared y Cefn (unaware of its future bagging status at time) and onto the then sub-Marilyn of Bryn Birth. Back to car park below cliffs. | Chris Pearson | 25/09/1999 |
