As others, parked on verge at 657 134, and followed the old road up to the pass. Then branched off to the trig at Pen y Garn, across country with quite a drop and re ascent to Esgair Berfa, then followed sheep trods by fence lines over Trawsfynydd to Braich Ddu with its fantastic view over the Mawddach estuary, before descending to the old road at the pass by an easy track on the north side of the fence. Finished the route with a short excursion off the old road to Craigmerwydd - a charming minor peak. Altogether 16km in distance with 650m ascent, taking 4h 30m. | silveracorn_alan | 08/08/2022 |
