| With Shaky on a bright, clear day from the large layby off the A40 about 2km W of Bwlch. Followed the track & then bridleway straight up enjoying the big display of snowdrops near the farm. Followed the track along to the summit for a cracking view of Black Mountains, Brecon Beacons, the Usk valley. Not too muddy. Back the same way. | NotReallyABagger | 30/01/2024 |
| Very muddy, but beautiful clear views. Walked from Bwlch along Beacons Way to Llangorse lake before ascending, then followed the ridge back to Bwlch | JacquiH7 | 04/01/2024 |
