An afternoon ascent of Moel Y Gyrafolen. Parked at SH 686 355 on the minor road on east side of the lake. Space for one car on the grass by telegraph pole. Walked a short distance along the road, then left up the RoW to reach the col. Then up the lovely little tack that winds its way up between the crags of the north ridge to the summit. Returned to the col and then across to Craig y Gwynt. A beautiful afternoon's walk with great views of Snowdonia in the Easter sunshine. Just 6km with 400m ascent, taking 2h20m.	silveracorn_alan	16/04/2022

Parked by mountain rescue hut at SH 69196 35273 and continued on foot up lane to path. I left the path too early and made straight for the top which was a mistake. I came down south then east which would have been better for going up too.	clivevilla	29/06/2018
