9/11 Parked by the unenclosed road at SH 906 454 (plenty of room). Followed farm track, as GB, all the way to the summit of Moel y Gydros. Loads of ewes and lambs on the hill. Then continued along the ridge the the south top. From here I took a bee line back down the steep grassy hillside to the starting point, including 3 BWF to cross - so may have been better to have returned down the farm track. Good all round view from the summit. A round trip of 3km with 200m ascent in 50 minutes. | silveracorn_alan | 15/04/2022 |

WARNING: There are significant numbers of cattle in practically every pasture on and around these hills, even loose on walled in public roads. I would strongly consider not bringing a dog to these hills. 
 
Moel y Gydros & South Top from Cadair Benllyn road summit with Rufus. Started along the track from the road summit but carried straight on alongside woodland to the Bwlch between the two summits. A quick left to the main top then followed the ridge S to the road at point 362m. Back along the road. Lots of BWF crossings and even more again to avoid cattle, would not bring a dog here again and Im usually confident with my dog around cattle. Impressive hill anyway, an abrupt lump between Carnedd y Filiast & Foel Goch. | jacobrichmond | 20/09/2020 |

From Moel y Gydros then for a better descent than the mucky track, through the copse of spruce, | Eddie | 13/01/2018 |

track from west to main summit, then to south top. | Rob50 | 26/03/2017 |
Parked to the west (south of the brow of the road), started up a track and then veered off for the summit of both tops. | clivevilla | 03/02/2016 |
Parked on verge just south of Gydros 908463. Followed right of way onto access land then followed fence south. Would be easier to use the track west of the fence but about 30 cows with calves were in the way so did not wish to disturb them or appear to pose a threat. Needed to climb barbed wire fence to gain the north summit, and another en route to the south top. | ijpowell | 26/09/2015 |

Parked easily at cattle grid to NW. Followed track down to cross the stream then diagonally across the grass slopes on Moel y Gydros to a gate about halfway between the two tops. | destaylor | 26/03/2014 |
