Iwerddon and Allt-Fawr from Crimea Pass with Rufus. Parked just downhill from the summit of the pass towards Blaenau Ffestiniog in the lay-by on the right. Followed the track WSW to the air shaft then more or less made a beeline west to the summit of Iwerddon staying underneath the crags. Followed the ridge SW to pick up sheep tracks that led S to the summit of Allt-Fawr. Retraced steps N for a short time then dropped down steeply E to the S shore of Llyn Iwerddon. Followed sheep tracks vaguely above the L bank of the stream back to the air shaft. Pretty murky morning but had a slight break looking N.jacobrichmond02/02/2023

11.2 mile walk from end of Blaenau Dolwyddelan road on sunny day with high cloud, walked up lane through Coed Mawr farm climbing on good track then followed pathless route up onto Yr Arddu followed small trail to summit, pathless route towards Llyn Edno and trail to Moel Meirch summit, headed south back to Llyn Edno and onto Ysgafell Wen North Top and Ysgafell Wen (lovely and grassy), onto Moel Druman and followed easy grassy trails to Allt-Fawr, by this time the cloud started pouring onto the ridge behind us, left Allt-Fawr in a hurry down to Iwerddon on trail and then pathless across to Moel Dyrnogydd, followed lane over Blaenau Tunnel (footpath on map doesn't exist)back to car. Only saw two fisherman at Llyn Dynogydd all day. Very underrated area of Snowdonia. After walk headed home via Mynydd Nodol.DanTrig07/06/2017
