Parked opposite the ROW gate to the SE and followed the track between the two llyns and round to the E of the ridge to the gate into the access land. Here went up the fence line to the ridge and along to the trig and hp. Returned along the ridge with a stile out of the access land and an obviously well used path SSE down the ridge to pick up the track back past the llyns. Good views from the top, if breezy. Solo. Worth perhaps noting that on the Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust site it says the Llyn Mawr nature reserve was closed to the public on 20 Oct 2023 due to continual anti social behaviour, which caused permissive path access to be withdrawn by the landowner.richard6905/06/2024
Yet another place where all trace of public FPs has been removed. Walked up lane from Maes-y-pandy, because FP gone, to Parc-y-Rhiw. No sign of FP there either, but found alternative way up to ridge. Probably better to go in from E, but I wanted to climb a decent height.IanHHill24/05/2024
There isn’t a CP at the nature reserve, just narrow verge parking, SO011969, and difficult turning at the road end. Initial RoW, NW, between the llyns, was a mudfestIsbjorn05/02/2024
Parked at start of track, followed right of way then veered up to a higher, better track along the ridge.iangalbraith15/08/2023

Solo from verge near Llyn Mawr. After a heavy shower stopped I made a quick ascent but apparent no further rain imminent so leisurely exploration of summit crags. Landrover with solar panel and aerial still in situ near to summit.Nick Canute23/08/2022
Gmac parked van near the right of way. One and a half kilometre easy climb to the summit. Interesting rock formation on was up. Almost like a cart track marked on either side.elizyanne05/07/2022

Parking to the east on the road by Newhouse. Bridleway and field track to stile on ridge to Access Land. Beautiful ridge! High point north of trig by car! Solo.Dangerous Dave27/05/2022
As Peterb car with IT mast still there. Easy walking 2.6 miles round trip, 1hr, hardly any climbing but a really nice ridge.JulieB25/05/2022

I parked just off the road at 012 972 where there is room for 3 cars and then followed the farm trackand path to the knobbly summit. Fine far reaching views though I was surprised to see a vehicle with IT mast by the summit.Peterb23/10/2021

I enjoyed this hill apart from the horribly muddy start , the track having had monsoon conditions and much farm traffic. Visited the trig on the way to the high point. It was wet .NormanW13/03/2020
From SE near Newhouse, bisecting the 2 Llyn’s via farm track then path to trig and summit just beyond.N.Morters17/01/2020

Fine spell of very early spring weather so I just had to take a day off and head up into the hills. Lovely area too to find some much needed peace and quiet.Alex C26/02/2019

Parked 012968 on side of road opposite gate to start walk up between lakes. Followed path to gate, mistakingly ended up on wrong side of fence but corrected on the way back down. Super windy at the top! Awesome views.Hippy7728/07/2018
