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.

Approach from W. Walk extended because road impassable due to snow. Lovely bright afternoon. Friendly farmer.jimbloomer15/01/2016
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.

P at start of ROW to SW. Followed all the way to the summit field.chrisbien12/03/2012
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.clivevilla01/11/2011
