Knowle Hill (from the N side just beyond path split to allow field access via gates), Whimble, Bache Hill, Black Mixen, Great Rhos, Nyth-grug, Mynd and The Smatcher. Warm but overcast with a breeze on top. With Gillian | richard69 | 07/08/2023 |
| Parked at Mutton Dingle car park. Whimble, Bache Hill, Black Mixen and Knowle Hill. Followed fence line along contour to south of forest back to car. With Andy. | Campbell Singer | 09/06/2023 |
| 5/5. From Whimble via woods. OS marked paths in woods are mostly overgrown, so just stick to the tracks. Probably would have skippped this barely-tump, though a nice spot, but was on the way back anyway. Solo | RoguePulsar | 15/08/2022 |
| My 4050th Tump! | BaggerGutt | 05/03/2022 |

| 1/8 A splendid round trip of the Great Rhos to bag 3 Deweys. From New Radnor up bridleway, with quick hop over the fence (SO 214 619) and up the field to Knowle Hill, back down and up FP through wood to barns, then direct up to the Whimble (splendid summit), back down and revisited Bache Hill and the transmitter at Black Mixen, visiting the deleted Nuttall, Great Creigau, en route. Then a significant descent to bag my second Dewey, Fron-wen (disappointing - just a rise in a forest road) and on to revisit Marilyn Great Rhos, before a long trek over wild moors to my final Dewey, Nyth-grug, and a lengthy road walk back to New Radnor. All in all a great walk with good views. 25km with 900m ascent in 7 hours. (S) | silveracorn_alan | 24/07/2020 |
| Over the fence from the bridleway to the N. | DanMaisieBex | 29/10/2019 |

| Knowle Hill - Whimble - Bache Hill - Great Creigiau - Black Mixen - Great Rhos. Basically the Nuttalls route with occasional diversions to take in the three bonus summits. Mainly cloudy and breezy but dry. | Herbert Anchovy | 29/07/2017 |
