Grassy domed field. Squeezed in to park by Wileirog Uchaf farm , walked north east up road, through two open gates to summit field. Breezy sun good views. Slurry just sprayed onto grass- fair enough!Denise 26/02/2024
Park on wide section of road next to Wileirog-Uchaf. Walk NE up road to field gate where tractor towing slurry tank has just departed. Through the open gates and over pasture to the domed summit field of pasture with a fresh coating of farm slurry. Extensive views.RichardM26/02/2024

As others: parked to W, then through field to summit field. Gates all the way: no fences to cross.PGCE08/02/2021
Parked in the gateway at 61252 86175. A simple walk across a pasture. High point is the bank which is ancient enough to be considered permanent.clivevilla18/07/2019
Parked by gate to W, walked along lane to gate to NW, up pasture to HP, returned direct to gate to W- gates in all fences. Cloud just above tops. The grass hadn't been harvested for silage and after some wet weather our feet were soaked. At least we got 2 Humps in on a foul day- but enough- next stop was the Victoria in Borth. With Pete.pwheeler16/09/2018
From the church car park in Llandre at SN 62343 86891. Took the trail up Cwm Eleri to the lane, then south east to its highest point at SN 61251 86167. Had to abandon summit attempt as farmer working in the summit pasture. Returned by the lane to Llandre. Returned at dusk later that day, parking by the gate at above grid ref. Then up to the pastoral unmarked summit through two fields. Solo.Man of Kernow111/02/2017
