Parked at end of minor road (719 604) for a circuit of Gopa Uchaf, along the bridleway following the valley east, Garn Gron and Y Bryn. Initially along ROW - easy to follow (unusually for Wales!).PGCE11/08/2021
Tried to climb from the north but could not find a crossing place over the stream just below the final climb, so will have to try climbing it from the south another time.ijpowell09/07/2021
From the end of minor road (719 604) along the bridleway following the valley east, then just before the forest steeply up to Gopa Uchaf , return to the bridleway to follow it N just below the summit of Garn Gron. Then SW into the valley to pick up the farm track and then along the edge of the access land at the gate marked private, back to the original bridleway and back to the minor road. 9km with 400m ascent in 2h 30m.

From Garn Gron. Retraced route south on bridleway, then diverting west to join another bridleway into the Groes Fawr valley. Crossed the stream and followed the forest edge SSW to its highest point, then up the slope to the summit. Onwards to Esgair Fawr. Solo.Man of Kernow103/06/2018
As Moorponder. Parked at side of forest track entrance at 741579 – Up forest tracks for about 3km to 733591 – WSW along tussocky firebreak, over barbed wire fence & then a short climb to the unmarked summit. (S)gerrybowes11/11/2017
Car at 741.579 - walked through wood to 733.591 (inc E Fawr). Westwards to summit via firebreak and easy ascent.Moorponder01/10/2017
From just off mountain road above Diffwys using forestry track to get close to Gopa Uchaf. No tree bashing but rough underfoot for last hundred yards to fence. Dropped to Groes Fawr and followed track to very close to summit of Carn Gron (signposted) with its trig, windshelter and large cairn. Came back by taking obvious (from a distance) firebreak to track - this was pretty rough but better than walking back thev way I'd come.SS08/07/2017
Up from the E via forest tracks.Chris Peart30/11/2016
Gopa Uchaf, Llethr Llwyd, Gopa Uchaf and Y Drum from parking at 718605. A lot of off path but mostly grassy although a little boggy in places and a bit tricky to get back across the river.clivevilla12/07/2016
