Parked north end of GG, same route up as CS. Through gate and up to trig and HP. | PeterD | 18/11/2022 |
Started from Cwm Clydach, good footpath along edge of forestry above the athletics track. Followed old stone wall from gate at SS 9851 9047 to source of the Ely River and ascent to trig point/HP from south west. A pleasant, easy-going walk rewarded with nice views on all sides. | forsterfamily7 | 13/03/2022 |
Tonypandy to Llwynypia. | Smudge | 08/02/2020 |
From the very north end of Gilfach Goch. Parked next to what is currently a small construction site. Found an old incline to use to gain height and then across sheep pastures to top. GG looks like everywhere has been reclaimed from the old mining industry. Few visible scars remain. | Campbell Singer | 31/08/2019 |

Lucky for me I live within walking distance of this hill and so have climbed it many, many times. It's relatively easy walking with superb views over the Beacons to the North and the North Devon coast line to the south. | Mogg | blank |
