Myself and Alma Aurea completed a very enjoyable walk over the ridge taking in Moel y Plas, Moel Llanfair, Moel Gwy and then finishing with Moel y Waun. Good views, fairly quiet, we enjoyed the walk. - last one of the walk. From the car near the fishing entrance we took the path until we reached a vague track and followed that up onto the ridge and along to the summit. More good views.meltdiceburg26/06/2021
