According to 3rd edition 2009 Cyrniau Nod is the Nuttall so that's where I went. Foel Cedig would have been more straightforward!KatyT12/05/2023

A revisit after bagging Cyrniau Nod in 2006 and the change in 2015. Drove up the col at SH946273 and took the bike up the track that winds its way around to the top. Undulating but pleasant with great views to Aran Fawddwy and Arenig Fawr. Walked up the last climb and to top for 40min total to summit. Cycled/pushed back in 30 mins. Plains Rally was taking place below in the forestry - didn't like the sound of the ambulance sirens on my return though or the air ambulance flying over as I got back to the car!robphys21/05/2022

Did the Nuttall's route in 2018 and a couple of weeks later Foel Cedig replaced Cyrniau Nod and a Bridge summit was added! Went to Cefn Gwyntog Far North Top first as couldn't be sure whether I passed over it the previous year. Then onto Foel Cedig which was in cloud by the time i got there. 6.7 miles in an hour and 43.Herbert Anchovy28/07/2019
