| HP by trig. Breezy views. Grass with some gorse. Good path all the way but parking awkward on soft verge on road to SW. Continue to Beddugre Hill. | Denise | 06/04/2024 |
| From the SW, bridleway via Neuadd-Fach and up valley to summit plateau. N over the plateau on good grassy track to summit of short grass on mainly gorse covered hillside. Trig pillar at high point. Strong SSW wind a little blue sky between the cumulus. Good views | RichardM | 06/04/2024 |
| Easy from layby on A483 at Llanbister Bridge | Alan Moore | 16/10/2023 |
| I parked on minor road to the north about 200m west of the junction, walked up hill and south down track and onto Glyndwr's Way for a nice walk up to the trig. | Father Ted | 14/09/2021 |
| From the N. Parked partly on banking & tight against hedge where Glyndwr's Way leaves road at Bwlch at SO 0845 7477 - Path/trod up to gate into access land & then ATV track over short grass until due E. of trig point. As Jim Fothergill mentions, a wide strip of grass, free of gorse, can be followed to the summit by trig point. (S) | gerrybowes | 13/08/2021 |

| With Jen and Bryher up from great layby parking on A483 just south of Llananno, saw farmer at Glanrafon just up the track over bridge, happy for us to walk through farm to gain bridleway which was loosely followed to the top | nordicstar | 27/10/2018 |
| Parked on the wide bend opposite the road to Tynypant then followed Glyndwr's Way S. There is a wide path through the gorse due E of the trig. | Jim.Fothergill | 19/09/2018 |
| Climbed to the Trig point from small road on the west side following Glyndwr's Way signs. A steep climb and access to two tops. | granddadscott | 31/07/2018 |
| As part of the Abbey Cwmhir Christmas Cracker LDWA event. | Joolz500 | 12/01/2018 |
| A really good walk, parking at Llananno, walking through Glanrafon. A bit of concentration needed to work out the ROW from the farm on to the access land, then to a pond and direct to the nice summit- well defined, walking on green paths through rough pasture/ bracken on an open ridge. It was too much trouble to try and follow the ROW from Bwlch farm so we followed the Glyndwr way to the quiet road and walked down it to Llananno; 1h 40 min, with brother, Pete. | pwheeler | 02/05/2017 |
