Parked at 96242 39486, up the lane and on to Pen Coed y Bedo, then west to Garw Fynydd which was no real problem. Then I went SE to Rhos Dawel which I would not recommend as most of it is pathless and there is some thick forest and areas of awful brambles. Maybe I picked a bad line but....clivevilla16/11/2022
Decent parking on sharp bend to ESE at SH 9626 3948 - Up lane past Llwyniolyn & then SW on RoW. Unfortunately, the stile at corner of new bwf by stream has not been replaced; currently just a makeshift affair - After crossing sheep pasture, kept to S. side of fence until gate at 952391 & then a short climb over rough ground to summit. Excellent view of Arenig Fawr, Arenig Fach, Cadair Idris & pylon!gerrybowes07/06/2022

From SW, no trace of RoW on the ground, gorse avoidable. Pass R of wood (gate) to reach summit. RHW30/06/2013
Parking at minor road junction at SH 96130 39615. Orddu - Foel Goch - Garnedd Fawr - Pen y Bwlch Gwyn - Moel Emoel - Rhos Dawel. To get to the summit of Rhos Dawel from Moel Emoel is not suitable for folks of a nervous disposition! It would be much easier to tackle it the way we came down, making use of the public footpath from the minor road to the NE.David Gradwell28/02/2010
