| From track end 76600 33010. Followed track to end. Boggy around stream crossing but continues on line shown on 1:25000 map. At end of made track a trodden line continues then over rough grass to fence. Followed the fence to the top. Return roughly the same. | Moorponder | 14/10/2022 |

| as clivevilla bracken could be hard in summer some walls have new fences but not topped with bw flat ground very wet 1hr 15 mins | underhill | 23/02/2022 |
| Parked to SW by stream. Had a conversation with a GOML lady ('we own this mountain') who grudgingly let me park there when I said I was going for a walk 'along the footpath' and would only be an hour. Along the footpath for a short way, and then a boggy ATV track leads to a gate at about the 480m contour. | PGCE | 12/11/2020 |
| A quick trip up and down from the minor road at SH 757 299. Steeply up the side of the wall and then along the tussocky ridge. A round trip of about an hour. (S) | silveracorn_alan | 19/09/2020 |
| 2/6 - dry, mostly clear skies, increasing wind. Start point was parking at junction forest track/gated road (parking limited). Almost entirely path free rough and boggy ground | wychwood | 11/01/2020 |
| Parked on lane at SH765 330 and took right of way onto moorland, very faint track for a way then a slog through heather trending left to a fence. Followed this then a wall to the summit of Bryn-pig.Retraced wall and fence all the way to Moel y Feidiog and onto lane and back to car. | dgresty | 12/08/2019 |
| Parked by the bridge at 768291 and followed the wall all the way up and back. It is fairly steep to start with through not dense woodland but it is mainly pathless and the early part could be a little more difficult with bracken. | clivevilla | 27/02/2019 |
| From Pont dol y mynach - SH 73363 31154. Took the lane south to its highest point, then rough ascent east (with barbed wire fences) till I reached a wall. Followed this east, leaving it to climb NE to the summit. A good viewpoint. Solo. | Man of Kernow1 | 17/04/2017 |
| Parked to S. by bridge at 768291 (Space for 2-3 cars) Through gate & NE up road to Bryn-llyn-fawr & then RoW to wall at 772306 Up alongside wall to summit mound. Descended S. following wall back to road; remains of all 3 walls are low & very easily crossed. (S) | gerrybowes | 31/03/2017 |
| From ROW just short of Pony y Gain past the 'unexploded munitions' closure of CROW access land and on up old tarmc road before the pull over rough ground to Bryn Pig. Followed uninspiring ridge to Moel y Feidog thwn on to road. Quick sortie up and down Gallt y Daren over best ground of the day before returning down road to car. | SS | 17/10/2015 |
| Whatever you do, do not follow the footpath from the south. i.e the kink in the road, it leads to the worst bog/ground imaginable. I think the best route is to head in a direct N.E. direction from the road keeping to the right of the stream. | DARRENG | 12/09/2015 |
| Moel y Feidiog,Bryn-pig (very rough grass and sqelch but not bog, took 1 hr) Craig y Dinas,Ffrith yr Allt-llwyd,Craig y Llestri,Craig Dolfudr,Craig Dolfudr North Top,Mynydd Bryn-llech 9hr 10 min walk over pathless heather and squelch. Not recommended. | ijpowell | 01/05/2015 |
| Parked to N and took 2.5+ hours. Should have read Chris's log a bit better. Track for 400m to derelict building. Then track is bog and indistinct. Made a DIY to the summit. Mistake. Bog and long grass. Hard work. Returned via track much easier. Suggest Chris's route. | destaylor | 08/04/2014 |
