With: solo; Nuttalls walk 7.5. Good dry day with light wind and high cloud | Ian Baines | 09/10/2022 |
Updated Nuttall 7.5 from Bwlch yr Hwch: Foel Goch, Trum y Gwragedd (Trum y Gwrgedd), Foel y Geifr, Pen y Cerrig Duon, Pen y Boncyn Trefeilw, Stac Rhos, Cefn Gwyntog North Top, Cefn Gwyntog, Cefn Gwyntog Far North Top, Foel Cedig and Y Groes Fagl. Haxy, dull day, so there weren't even good views to distract from the relentless trudge through heather. | Lazylizzie | 03/09/2022 |

Indistinct point on pathless heathery ridge but still glowing with damson gin from Foel Cedig | Denise | 24/11/2018 |
29km circuit from Pennant Melangell; after Stac Rhos. Puzzled by this summit, we checked the DoBIH note and realised the higher summit immediately to the N, aka Cefn Gwyntog Far North Top (Bridge), turned out in retrospect to be my final Bridge - bonus:-) - although probably crossed this top before. | RHW | 24/11/2018 |
From Stac Rhos. On to Cefn Gwyntog. | Wycombe Wanderer | 24/11/2018 |
Visited by mistake as Rob and Jon were taking an unusual interest in this insignificant heathery rise. | RichardM | 24/11/2018 |
Followed the Nuttall's route. Lovely sunny day with a nice cool breeze. It turned out this was the 1000th hill I've logged on this site - a bit of an anticlimactic one, perhaps I should have skirted around it. | Herbert Anchovy | 23/06/2018 |

Nuttalls walk 7.5. Had to look hard at the GPS for this one. Surely cannot have been considered as a separate top? | Crib Goch | 13/04/2016 |

an interesting though sometimes arduous walk through 7 of the hirnant peaks. good tracks a lot of the way, the bits without tracks proving hard going, lovely day though and not another person seen along all the (off road) route. | stig_nest | 23/04/2007 |
