As others from near farm, along BW and then across pasture and on to HP. | PeterD | 09/09/2018 |
Final hill in 32C. From Penydd Fawr farm. Neath Road initially, past the milestone (with a benchmark rivet on it), then across sheep pastures to flat grassy top. Locals told me the track was once the main road to Neath, hence the milestone. | jonglew | 09/02/2017 |
Flattish pasture. From E, byway called Neath Road and even has a milestone. Across pasture to summit | RHW | 14/08/2016 |
