Parked car at SH45494563. Footpaths are not visible in this area!BaggerGutt02/12/2023
3 of 5 today. Parked up to the Nw off Minor lane on forest track, took so called footpath via very wet ground until the steepness increased. Battered by rain and wind on the ascent however this had lessened by the time I arrived at the Trig pillar. Great views to the higher ranges and looking back over the Llyn peninsular. Saw my car parked on the road and noticed some gates giving an easier descent although had to meander through the rocky outcrops. Continuation to Y Foel..Dazingdale23/09/2023
Parked in forest track entrance to NW at SH 4549 4563. Over ditch and wall onto access land, and up to summit over on wall / fence.Minto19/07/2023
Parked outside Forest Gate to the NW. With Jill & Minto.Dangerous Dave19/07/2023
There's footpaths on the map but they're not visible in real life and there's no signs. I just parked in a layby and walked up through feilds, where the map showed was supposed to be a footpath, over some fallen down walls. Fairly easy. Trig point at the top.Skarletk02/08/2021
Parked in forest track entrance to NW at SH 4549 4563 - SW along road for about 350m & over farm gate at 453453 - Up along edge of field, the RoW, to wooden gate in top corner - Over gate into access land & then picked up a sheep trod to the gap in wall at 457451- Easily over a bit of metal fencing & under the barbed wire & then a short climb to the summit trig point.gerrybowes07/10/2020
From end of forest track near Cae Gors. Through 2 gates and over a low section of wall. Nice hill.PGCE19/08/2020

Accessed from track to SW, muddy layby. Then went north from farm buildings( footpath unmarked) to obvious high point on rough grass with trig. Good views. Larks singing.Denise 08/04/2018
From the SW through fields of sheep (no sign of path marked on map so weaved our way through the gates) Summit rough pasture topped by trig pillar. Weak sunshine breaking through, cloud just risen off summits of Gyrn Ddu group of hills. Sky Larks singing.RichardM08/04/2018
Easy parking at end of forest to NW but ROW from west doesn't seem to exist so very wet and rough pathless ascent followed which included one wall /barbed wire hopMark Sims22/01/2018
From the east. Some of the paths were overgrown with gorse or brambles but I found ways round without too much trouble. Then through gorsey moorland, over a wall into summit area with trig.Herbert Anchovy26/10/2017
From the road to NW, verge parking 170m SW of road junc. RoW initially then over rough boggy pasture.jonglew10/10/2017
Parked over in woodland in generous off road space, took the boggy approach from road to summit. Surprisingly rough ground once over the wall, used the ROW to return much more dryly to road via gates. A better line on reflectionnordicstar20/07/2017
Got wet feet going up, drier back down by keeping further to left, and walking back a short distance on the road.jenx20/07/2017
From north yet another day off the summit after ten pmvegibagger15/06/2017

Parked on verge at 452445. ROW hard to ascertain amongst buildings but it was easy to join path from here. A broken down fence and sleepy dogs aided the enterprise- it may not always be thus. Informal path up to unexciting pasture summit- beautiful views, though.pwheeler20/09/2016
Parked and went up as marktrengrove. Came down slightly further south so that I could go across a couple of pasture fields and avoid the boggy one.clivevilla28/10/2015
On my own from Cennin,not easy to find path. Sunnyalwaysinshorts05/06/2014
As Mark TChris Peart22/01/2014
Parked on the lane by the forest on the west side of the hill at SH 45494 45634 - room for 1-2 cars. Climbed low wall, across boggy field and up to high wall running north-south. At its highest point, due west of the summit, is a breach one can clamber over, avoiding barbed wire. Thence to summit. Returned the same way. With AT and JT.Man of Kernow111/01/2014
Pant Glas to Llanaelhaearn. Approached from ROW to NNE & exited WNW.Smudge30/11/2013
Park off road to the south at 4540644141. Take any track due north.arranc31/05/2013
Pleasant day out visiting Lleyn HuMP's and trigs.Alex C12/02/2013
Cycled to it from Criccieth and climbed from south.stever07/08/2011
Parking to WNW near forest track. Just one tricky wall to get over before locating trig.Dugswell205/03/2011
Not a good idea from the East as there is a wall with 3 barbed wire strands.destaylor17/06/2010
