Parked at side of wide entrance to reservoir at SN 4225 2161 - Up track past farmhouse, through yard & up track to trig point & summit. A couple of friendly dogs in yard, but no one about. (S) | gerrybowes | 09/11/2021 |
Evening ascent; ROW from Cwm-oernant, then track through farm. Got barked at by the dogs, so took a more circuitous route back, thanks to OpenStreetMap. | PGCE | 17/07/2021 |

Parking at SN 42243 21602 near covered reservoir. Walked NW through Penlan Voss farm where we asked permission to proceed - readily given by a friendly Mrs Farmer. Summit point topped with trig pillar and large muck heap - which is actually higher than the summit! | jonglew | 31/08/2014 |

Parked at the water resevoir on way up to Penlan Voss farm and detoured into fields to pick up summit. Clouding over and windy at 13:20 but still good views on walk of Carmarthen. | Dugswell2 | 23/03/2009 |
Ok summit; surprisingly attractive view but awkward approach. fiddly access, e.g park @ resr; cross mdws from FP @ 418217 | RHW | 22/06/2003 |
