Continuation from Moel Fama. Took the narrower ridge path to the east of the main path, then dropping steeply east on a track into Coed Fama. Then forest road up to Bwlch Penbarra. Next steeply up the stepped path south to the summit cairn. To return, headed south to join the Offa's Dyke Path round the west flank of the hill and back down to Bwlch Penbarra and east on the path above the road back to the car. Dull and cloudy, with light rain as I descended from the summit. Solo. Part of my training programme for my Mt. Olympos trek. Total ascent on the walk was about 630m.
