| Continuation from Moel Llys-Y-Coed up footpath that ramps up I veered off where the rough track comes in from the East and from there over pretty easy grassland reaching and following grassy track before veering off for the summit area, visiting both tops. Moel Arthur was very busy today, this top has a really nice secluded feel. Back the same way past the benign baa baas. | Dazingdale | 28/01/2023 |

| Parked at Bwlch Penbarra car park (only £1.50 for the whole day). Firstly popped to the top of Foel Fenlli, before returning to the car to collect my rucksack for the longer journey north over Moel Famau, Moel Dywyll, Moel Llys-y-coed, then a big descent and ascent to Moel Arthur, and Moel Plas-yw. As no car to collect me, I had to walk south back along the ridge to Bwlch Panbarra. Mainly on Offa's Dyke trail with many people in glorious sunshine and a refreshing breeze. 21km with 1040m ascent in 6 hours. | silveracorn_alan | 07/08/2022 |
