| Drove to the end of the road past Glyn Bach. The road becomes a stony track and shortly after there is an excellent area to park. Went mostly on paths firstly to Is Afon and then Foel Cae'r Hafosty passing through the garden of a house with cages housing birds of prey. | clivevilla | 03/09/2024 |
| Parked by gate near ROW below Glyn-bach. ROW up through forest to open ground, then up to summit. Visited all 3 suggested highpoints. | PGCE | 23/11/2022 |
| Parked by cattle grid 924 334, up footpath SSE, then along tree line (over bwf) then over bwf into forest at a point just NW of top where there is a small outcrop.I went to the right of this, Just the outer tree line to get through, then clearing easily visible | Rob50 | 23/11/2021 |

| This one is a bit of a challenge as well. The summit is clear but getting there - well be prepared to be scratched and scraped. | Ianto&Sue | 12/05/2019 |

| From Rhiwaedog back to main track towards Is Afon. Through forest at its narrowest point which was easy enough. Followed forest edge over rough grass. Its an interesting hill, I couldnt make my mind up whether the several hollows were from mining..i thought not. So sinkholes? Surely not. Bomb craters? Whatever, a fine wee hill. | stig_nest | 18/06/2016 |
| Parked by the bridge at 913303 where the road becomes a track, quite a bit of space here. Several areas of the forest to the south west of the summit have recently been harvested making the ground a little uneven. | JohnStoneham | 05/05/2013 |
| Start SH925309 on bridleway to forest edge and then fence to top, over fence at SH925317 and half left through small gap in trees to top. SH9261631732 | Anton | 18/02/2013 |
