9/11 I roughly followed GB's route from the cattle grid at 837952 bagging 7 Deweys and small detours to get 4 nearby minor peaks. Visited Clipyn Du, Mawnog, Carn Hyddgen, Foel Uchaf, Foel Isaf, Llechwedd Crin, Banc Bugeilyn, Esgair Greolen, Bryn yr Wyn, Foel Fadian, and finishing with Bryn y Fedwen.

Parked on minor road to NE and did Foel Fadian, Bryn Yr Wyn and Banc Bugeilyn before returning to the car, crossing the road and a quick stroll up Bryn Y Fedwen. Just over seven miles.clivevilla16/02/2016
Also visited alternative top of Bryn yr Wyn (GPS could not distinguish a difference in height despite top by the forest looking clearly higher). Climbed as part of 5 Dewey round:Foel Fadian, Clipyn Du, Banc Bugeilyn, Bryn yr Wyn, Bryn y Fedwen from start of track at SN837952. Some heavy showers and mist but tops were clear for much of the time.RobertP23/08/2015
