| Parked to south almost opposite duck pond. Up ROW, then pasture to top. Not sure why traffic cones were in field, sheep probably equally confused. | PeterD | 30/07/2024 |
| As gerrybowes, parking on the verge not far from a duck pond. E along the road to the ROW, along the track to the gate opposite the summit. | LizH | 16/04/2024 |
| 10:30, rain cleared and now a pleasant day: 7 degrees, sunny spells, north-westerlies. From SW. | Wycombe Wanderer | 19/01/2022 |
| Space for a car at 004887. Was going to follow ROWs, but couldn't find any signs so went across the fields instead. | PGCE | 23/07/2021 |
| Parked tight against hedge 30m or so E. of Rhyfaes at SN 9976 8735 - N. along RoW to field gate at 000884 - Over gate & then W. across sheep pasture to the unmarked summit mound. (S) | gerrybowes | 06/05/2021 |
| Great to be back out bagging around Powys. Caersws station is starting to get quite familiar now. | Alex C | 26/07/2019 |
| From road to SW. Parking on grass verge possible but soft. distinct domed grass summit in sheep field. Superb clear evening sunlight under breaking cloud. | Denise | 10/02/2019 |
| Field gates and fence lines from lane to SW. Gently domed sheep pasture summit. | RichardM | 10/02/2019 |
| From Rhydfaes- layby here: up the unmetalled road, straightforward to pasture summit- even though we left the road too early and had an extra fence to traverse- all easily managed. Nice, clear views after foul morning- a 1225 hrs start. With brother, Pete. | pwheeler | 01/05/2017 |
| Continuation of walk from Coed Mawr. Retraced my steps north to rejoin the Severn Way, following it WSW to join the lane near Gwastadcoed. Continued up to a house at Pt.251m, then muddy bridleway north, climbing a gate to ascend to the summit. Then rejoined the bridleway, taking it down to Hornby. Then quiet country lanes east back to Llandinam. Solo Nordic walk in fine but cold weather. | Man of Kernow1 | 02/01/2017 |
