Me and Alf. From Pennant to Foel Boeth. A good slog over sometimes boggy ground and rough heather. Choose a clear day! | jrj | 14/12/2016 |
My first Welsh hill for several years and of course I met a pair of GOMLs - on a public footpath. They said they were worried about Foot and Mouth disease and that the path had been closed since 2001. | alda | 16/11/2015 |
Parked by entrance to water works. Bryn Mawr, Llechwedd Mawr, Pen y Bedw West Top , pen y Bedw East Top, Foel Boeth, Foel Ddu | ijpowell | 25/09/2015 |
Continuation of walk from Foel Boeth. Headed east down into cwm, crossed brook, and then very rough-going through heather, bilberry and tussock grass on north side of barbed wire fence up west ridge of hill. Crossed barbed wire fence to reach two possible high points. On descent stayed on south side of fence (easier ground) west to a gate, then across moor and followed high wall back to trackway. | Man of Kernow1 | 21/06/2013 |
