9 peaks over 2k 21 miles loop with Peggydavecnash19/07/2023
A pleasant set of hills, starting with Y Garn and moving on to Pumlumon Fawr, Pumlumon Fach, Pen Pumlumon Llygad-bychan, Pen Pumlumon Llygad-bychan East Top and Pen Pumlumon Arwystli. I extended the route to view the source of The Severn, which I found to be well worth the detour. I returned to the hills and descended into the valley to pick up the track at the delightful Llyn Llygad Rheidol reservoir.oldbagger2719/06/2023
Parked the van at Bryn y Beddau and took a good track up towards Pumlumon Fach, which gives easy access to Pumlumon Fawr. Then along the summit ridge path to its two East Tops and on to Pen Cerrig Tewion and Pen Pumlumon Arwystli. Still plenty of time in the day so went north to bag the summits of Carnfachbugeilyn and Pumlumon Cwmbiga. Returned via Bryn Cras and down to a wet path besides the Afon Hengwm.summitter29/11/2022
