Sweaty ascent SE in mild weather under grey skies across sheep pasture. Summit is apparently on tumulus to N of fence. Descended NE over boggy terrain in rain.Denise 21/10/2020
Via the grassy W slope - remarkably easy terrain for Access Land! On circular walk from Abercegir, starting to rain.RichardM21/10/2020
From Bwlch Glynmynydd - parking for 3-4 cars by the roadside. Took the bridleway up to its highest point, then followed the fence west on its northern side to the summit. Onwards to Bryn y Fedwen 405m. Solo.Man of Kernow119/01/2020
Nice hill. From Gydrhos, we walked up to Ty-newydd and up the bridleway onto access land. Being mid-Wales, it wasn't quite straightforward as we had to cross a new barbed wire fence at SN846983. Good views of the surrounding area and a well-defined top, so shelter from the wind. With brother, Pete.pwheeler18/09/2018

Quite a stretch to make it up here and back from Mach with just 4.5 hours between buses, but I was well rewarded for my efforts today with absolutely stunning all round views. Amazing hill.Alex C09/05/2017

As Arranc although I did not see any brides on the bridal path he describes. Maybe he meant bridle path although I didn't see any horses either. Still, a lovely walk of just over a mile each way.clivevilla23/07/2015
Easy walk from road bend to north east where there is room for a couple of cars. Excellent teach along ridge and then good ground to summit.Campbell Singer05/07/2015

Pleasant green bridal path up on dew-covered path to a fence on the ridge. Through a gate to join a metalled track on the south side heading straight for the hill on the horizon. Over heather and swampy grass to follow a wire fence to the knoll at the top. Highest point was to east of BWF. 10.00.arranc01/09/2012
