| 4th hill of 9 on a 20km circuit from Llanarmon yn-lal to Gwernymynydd. After Moel Gyw I descended to the Offas dyke path and followed it to the road and then continued on the path until it starts to pass through some trees. i climbed up through the edge and inside the woodland taking advantage of a fallen tree compressing th bw fence. Exiting the woodland taking in the lower summut first and then over the fence (electrified but possibly not working) to the true summit. Descent back through the wood and then over fence where there should have been a stile continuing on road heading for Pen Llanerch... | Dazingdale | 27/01/2024 |
