| Parked at lay-by at Llyn Celyn. Lots of construction work at Dam. An anti-clockwise round of: Craig y Garn, Graig Ddu, Craig yr Hafod, , Trum nant-fach, Waun Garnedd-y-Filiast, Carnedd y Filiast, Carnedd Llechwedd-llyfyn, Foel Boeth, Pen Garneddwen and Moel Phylip. Heather slog up to this one to stone tumulus. | PeterD | 21/04/2024 |
| From 87300 40601. There's a nice track for quite a way but then it's an awful mixture of everything prickly. A large cairn on the top. | clivevilla | 30/08/2022 |

Some horrible heather bashing en route!! I'd do it this way round again. But you'd have to pay me a lot of money to go clockwise. | Minto | 27/05/2022 |

| With Rufus in a big loo from Ysbyty Ifan. Took drovers track beyond the southern church and beyond Ty Nant onto the hillside and onto the ridge, followed continuation down towards Llyn Celyn then traversed the hill above the forest to deep heather and the summit of Pen Garnedd-wen. Went back W to pick up good track heading N and easily gained the summit of Foel Boeth. Descended N to col and roughly followed 550m contour back to the ridge and descent. 21km 5.5 hours. Long way round but nice to see this side of the Migneint. | jacobrichmond | 13/04/2020 |

| Continuation of walk from Foel-boeth. Returned to track and followed it east to nearest point to objective on a bend. Then hard bash through high heather and bogs to reach the impressive Bronze Age funerary cairn over the highest natural point on the hill. To descend, headed east over Moel Phylip and down to road, rejoining my outward route. Solo. | Man of Kernow1 | 23/04/2016 |
| Up forestry track which soon runs out so left with gorse and briar and no track until wall found then quickly up to Pen Garneddwen, deep heather and wet to Foel-boeth then Carnedd Llechwedd-llyfn [Llechwedd-llyfn] then trough of Bowland damp walk to Carnedd y Filiast then Waun Garnedd-y-Filiast then back to start of track which was followed to road to avoid further deep heather and bog. A very good choice of return route. | Dugswell2 | 07/09/2015 |
| Last of eight hills on this walk around Carnedd y Filiast. Came from north after summiting Foel-boeth. Very boggy immediately to north. Walked back to dam via Moel Phylip. | Wheelsy | 21/06/2014 |
