| Lumpy summit mound, possibly mine spoil but, even at base , highest per Abney. Trig lower c 100 m away. Accessed from convenient parking area at start of wind farm/ old mines track. Permissive access. Breezy sun. | Denise | 26/02/2024 |
| Up the wind farm track past the old mine. Summit area is a wind farm and pasture with permissive access which allows visit to the high point and trig. Track crosses the summit. Grassed over heap of rocks / spoil on N side of track is highest point but not natural. Ground at base of rocks has natural rock cutting and is likely a the natural high point. Also visited the trig pillar. | RichardM | 26/02/2024 |
| As gerrybowes and nearly everyone else. This was nicer than we anticipated, even on the summit with the turbines. Good view of Aberdyfi. With Pete. | pwheeler | 15/09/2023 |
| With Chris Crocker and Graham Jackson. We climbed this hill from the minor road that leads to cottages where a kind resident allowed us to park outside their home. We followed the ROW SE before turning up grass to the summit. | johnbarnard25 | 06/03/2022 |
| Parked in the spacious parking area, at the end of the track, at SN660 857. Followed the track up past the old mine to the wind turbines and to the summit. Cattle at the summit wandered off. | LizH | 05/03/2022 |
| From car park at 660857, up track past mine to covered reservoir - Turned left & up track with a half-meshed field gate to mound 30m NW of T13, high ground 80m SW of T13 & trig point. (S) | gerrybowes | 30/10/2021 |
| From car park at entrance to windfarm. Track via mine (note that the sign and stile for the Permissive Path should be about 200m further E). Visited trig and other highpoints. | PGCE | 08/02/2021 |
| Small car park at entrance to wind farm at 65978 85725. East down track, across river and up to brow on access road before turning left, also on an access road. Summit looks like it is the trig but I walked along the slight ridge by the wind turbine as that is close to the same height. | clivevilla | 18/07/2019 |
| From the car park to SW, as per Mark Trengove. Visited the mound (partly man made) close to wind turbine, nearby natural rise and the trig point area | RobertP | 16/12/2017 |
| 7/7 on wet misty windy day (Glan Fedwen/Cistfaen/Esgair Ganol/Yr Allt/Llechwedd Tyn-y-Maes/Pen Dihwed/Banc Mynyddgorddu) | Fergalh | 19/03/2017 |
| From the car park at the beginning of the windfarm track at SN 65978 85725. Took the track up past the old mine all the way to the summit, then on to the trig point to be sure. Returned the same way. Solo. | Man of Kernow1 | 11/02/2017 |
| Originally called back at Elgar farm but no probs going up via the wind farm track. | Alex C | 22/09/2015 |

| Currently 820 HuMPs in E, W and IOM - this is number 800 for me! If you start at the barn there is a permissive path that avoids having to use the wind power station road. I would say that the non-trig summit is man made and the trig is at the natural sum | Martin R | 28/08/2011 |
| track all the way from road to the south.There is another little lump at SN 66776 86695 which seemed as high or higher.Did the trig just to make sure | DARRENG | 13/06/2011 |
| Parked by new barn to SW off B road. Track all the way. | destaylor | 14/04/2011 |
| Park in new small car park at entrance to wind farm. Bridal ways through a farm down over a stream. Blades making a noise in stiff wind. By a small barrow, trig 100yds further west. Borth. Aberdovey. Sea. 10.25. | arranc | 11/09/2010 |
