| What a stunning spot. From North, lots of up and down but nowhere all that taxing. Just a bit of keeping your wits about you and eyes open. The view over to Craig Wion from here is really interesting the hillside almost looks terraced from the ice. | stig_nest | 17/04/2021 |

Quick out and back to Moel y Gyrafolen then high ground over the tops to Clip. Return via Bwlch Gwylim and track down depression then increasingly boggy path/ROW NE/E to road again. Great hills, some tricky descents with the dog, sometimes taking big detours to avoid descending steep grit outcrops. | jacobrichmond | 10/08/2020 |
