"This was the perfect walk for today! Not too long (less than two hours), not too short. Not too steep, not too flat. Clear path so didn't have to watch feet every step. And quite sunny, missing the rain by so many whiskers. Parked to the south west, just off the B-road and took the exposed track that runs up just near the edge of the forest to the east, then after about 1/3 enters open land. Crossing a few gates until large zigzag, then direct again, a little short cut along a path marked on the map to the end, before rejoining track direct to summit. Could see at least five different wind farms from here. What a beautfiul sight! On the top there is a trig point and a spiral wind shelter. Returned much the same way." — vygodski • Sep 13, 2025

"A good four-hour walk from the small car park by the bridge at the bottom of the Elan reservoir. Took the long sweeping route marked on the OS which goes in a wide loop around. Up good gravel track and then heading on past waterfalls to eventually reach the turn off for Gorllwyn, actually overextending for a bit because the marked path for Drygarn Fawr most come earlier from the right and I missed it. I think marked with wooden posts now as appeared when reencountered it. Just headed west along tracks and on high ground Drygarn becomes visible with its two prominent heads of assembled stone. Far reaching views. Trig point a tiny bit further west. Returned on more prominent path which passes Carreg-Yr-Ast but this route is not on OS. Went up this hill for a quick detour and then descended more directly down one of the noses of these hills that sniffle at the valley. At small sheep feeding station rejoining the gravel track. 14km. 4 hours. With AB " — vygodski • Jan 14, 2022

"Parked after the cottage near the end of the asphalt road from Llanwrthwl. Up the boggy two-wheeled track until higher ground cutting off South and then South east along a gradually diminish track. Going quite straightforward. Boggy in patches. Great expansive views all round. I spy a Marilyn! Beautiful clear blue sky, so rare recently." — vygodski • Jan 12, 2022

"Parked on road to wws and roughly followed bridleway that runs west-east slightly to the south. Crossed three rain engorged streams in the gullies, to reach the foot of this where left bridleway (for what it is) and climbed faint path direct to top. Returned same way, surprisingly with dry feet!" — vygodski • Feb 23, 2020

"Walked from the layby at 921-706 to the north, westish to Waun Fign and up Esgair Perfedd. From here mostly followed the odd two-foot high concrete pillars every 50 yards or so to the rocks west, (Crugyn Gwyddel) then on to here. Returned vaguely NNE crossing stream and the walking back up road. Hard going underfoot in places due to thick, soggy grasses." — vygodski • Jan 19, 2020
