| A circuit from Abersoch | BaggerGutt | 03/12/2023 |
| As PeterD. Path climbs up through bashed bracken. | Minto | 20/07/2023 |
| Parking on wider road at east end of causeway. Good but steep fp almost to the pasture top. No access problems. Good viewpoint. | Campbell Singer | 01/03/2023 |
| From west, parking south of bend in road. Up FP then along to open gate into top field. | PeterD | 14/08/2022 |
| This is a very nice top, with good views over Abersoch, as indicated by Denise. We didn't have any problems about access, parking on Tan-y-Gaer, a wide residential road, at SH 306280. We had a chat with a local who had also been on the top. Just don't even think about parking at SH 299283- that really does piss off the farmer, quite reasonably. | pwheeler | 17/03/2022 |
| Accessed with some difficulty as paths are blocked/ unmarked and farmer denied existence. Track ( as opposed to footpath) to E OK. Obvious ancient defensive location with flat top and splendid views over whole peninsula. Very hot day and next stop was cold lager in Abersoch after navigating covid restrictions | Denise | 17/07/2021 |
| Easy detour from RoW crossing N side of summit, less so from other directions. Off to Abersoch to rehydrate! | RichardM | 17/07/2021 |

| ROW from Cregir not passable, but the one towards Abersoch was a good reserve way to this hill. Just a gate to clamber over near the summit. | summitter | 23/06/2021 |
| On run from Abersoch. | stever | 21/07/2020 |
| From campsite nearby, up FP to SW from Creigir. As usual round here you have to conjure w the line, as it was pasture and gates through fields lead to hill crest, a caravan has to be passed to gain the summit. Return pretty much the same way passing house Creigir Uchaf, still no sign of path though so back through same fields using gates to road at Cregir | nordicstar | 12/06/2017 |
| Parking at NW end of causeway. 300m on road, then good path mostly before directly up through patchy gorse to field opening for summit area. | jonglew | 16/08/2015 |
| Easy access from the E, other ways involve barbed wire. | Adrian | 15/08/2015 |
| :-) From W, RoW then grassy ascent thru gorse. | RHW | 19/04/2015 |
| A lovely TUMP with great coastal views icluding towards Bardsey Island. Bagged with Paul Webster over 3 hours before Rob Woodall. | Dugswell2 | 19/04/2015 |
