From Rachub, parking by the football ground. Walked through the village up the high street and right to a gate onto access land. Then took a steep quarry incline up to a level area, picking my way south through the dwarf gorse to the fine summit of Moel Faban. Then continued NE down into the deep cleft at the bwlch, up over Llefn and on to the summit of Gyrn. Then north for the pull up onto Moel Wnion. Returned to Rachub SW along the north flank of the ridge. Solo. Cloudy, with some sunny breaks. Strong SW wind.
