| Parking at pt486, SJ017305. Blind FP to info sign, then partial boardwalk ESE to cairn at circa SJ029302. About 300m past this, at a cleft with a white rock, an erratic faint ATV tk goes off SE to two fenced squares. NB tricky to find start of ATV tk for the return | Isbjorn | 24/06/2024 |

| Parked high on road then track of sorts to duck-boarding which you should leave near obvious cairn to tackle the horrid heather to Bryn Gwyn a P12.7 before the two top of Post Gwyn. | Dugswell2 | 23/11/2018 |
| 3 degrees at spot 464, calm, thick mist, some snow on ground, with Dugswell2. Cursed through the heather, spurred on only by the prize of collecting a deleted Nuttall. On to Post Gwyn. | Wycombe Wanderer | 23/11/2018 |
| Followed the Nuttall's route to Post Gwyn but turned up the hill too soon, seduced by a path which looked pretty good. Needless to say it disappeared eventually and it was all through heather and bilberry from then on. Fortunately not the worst by any means. Then did an out and back to Bryn Gwyn before taking a direct route to Glan-hafon which I thought a nicer hill. Returned to pick up the standard Nuttall's decent to the falls. | Herbert Anchovy | 24/06/2018 |
| From point 486m on road to WNW. Duck-boarding made life easier on first section, but the ATV track SE didn't look as though it had seen any ATV activity for years. Was also very wet and soggy, think yesterday's deluge that had flooded Birmingham must have tracked NW. Continued to Post Gwyn. | Aye Jimmy | 28/05/2018 |
