Night ascent, but still nice and straightforward. | Alex C | 02/11/2018 |
From Tylwch along a path avoiding the big farm and then a good farm track. A fine small hill. No problems with the cows and calfs. | Alan Moore | 10/10/2018 |
Llangurig to Llandiloes. | Smudge | 16/03/2018 |
Parked at the start of the bridleway ascending the hill from the E- tenuous, and while not blocking access we were pleased not to leave the car for more than the 30mins it took there and back. Track to small quarry by some trees, across field to summit. Good view of Llanidloes. Bonus Hu; the rain started at 2, but then held off for an hour around 4 so we decided to do this one.

3/11 Third of eleven on sunny but cold day (Llechwedd Llwyd/Bryn Du/Bryn Mawr/Old Chappel Hill/Pant-Poeth Hill/Peginn Mawr/Graig Iar/Molefre/Pen-y-Ffynnon/Coed y Gaer/Bryn Gwyn) | Fergalh | 05/11/2016 |
Approach from W. Walk extended because road impassable due to snow. Lovely bright afternoon. Friendly farmer. | jimbloomer | 15/01/2016 |
Ascended by the bridleway from the east. Parked at the start of the track by the bend (room for one car, if parked carefully to avoid obstruction). Took track up to a small quarry by some trees. No sign of path beyond, but up to visit east, central and western tops (barbed wire and electric fences to climb for the latter two). Returned by outward route. With MP on a hill survey. | Man of Kernow1 | 14/12/2014 |

P at start of ROW to SW. Followed all the way to the summit field. | chrisbien | 12/03/2012 |
Parked on the bend to the east. I agree about the aggressive cows. They stampeded towards me, I jumped over the fence and most of them moved on but one stood there bellowing at me. | clivevilla | 01/11/2011 |
Yet another little bimble along a track | Martin R | 26/08/2011 |
