A quick visit at the end of an otherwise Marilyn day on Anglesey. Parked by the church in Rhoscolyn, followed the minor road, then tracks to the coast path, then up to the summit of Hirfron.silveracorn_alan18/08/2019
Last tump of the day and completion of Holy Island. First a 3 tump circular with Lesley, climbing Tre-Wilmot followed by South Stack and Holyhead mountain. We parked up at the pub, had a drink then walked to Borth Wen where i left Lesley to continue on the coastal path to just past the Coastguard station and headed over on a path to the top. I walked all round the windshelter then returned to Borth Wen visiting a Cromlech just off the beach.Dazingdale16/07/2019

From large beach-side car park at Borthwen Bay. Visited volunteer manned coast watch post first for chat then up to top. Interestingly, coast watch chappie was sure his post was the HP - seemed disappointed when I had to let him down. Chuffed to watch Choughs on way up and again on the return leg. HP has a fancy stone-built shelter structure, with trig pillar a few metres N.jonglew18/09/2015
