| Repeat visit with Meg and Xan. Wet and windy. After Ffridd Gorllwyn. | Herbert Anchovy | 20/02/2019 |
| After the panorama walk to Ffridd Gorllwyn(qv) we walked up the lane past Bunkorama, admired the rock slabs at the top of the lane, then walked round to the N and made our way to the summit via grassy rakes through the steepest ground. The summit is lovely- rock and heather, a mini-Rhinog which is, geologically, exactly what it is. By now it was sunny and the coastal and estuary views were magnificent. We noted a gate at SH 6162 1659 to the access land and went through it to join the ROW network, returning past Gelli-fawr- a whitewashed house which features in the photos from the summit, backed by rugged slopes it looks impressively isolated thought it's only a mile from Barmouth. With Pete. | pwheeler | 11/09/2018 |

| Info only. The little bluff of Dinas Oleu (fortress of light) on the SW shoulder above Barmouth was the first land owned by the National Trust in 1895 (all 4.5 acres of it). Now the NT owns 742 miles of the 3000 miles of coastline of England, Wales & N Ireland. *(From Coastlines by Patrick Barkham). | Chris Pearson | blank |
