"Parked at the lane-end above Glangors - permissive parking. Took the grass track up over the moor and down to the outflow of Llyn Cwm Silyn Isaf. Crossed with some difficulty over a loose stone wall. Then a steep ascent up in deep heather to the summit plateau, the going a little easier further up. Visited various boulders as possible HPs. Descended towards outflow of Llyn Cwm Silyn Uchaf - a bad mistake! This was ankle-breaking territory, with high heather, deep hidden holes and boulder fields. Don't go that way! Eventually reached the outflow, crossed easily, and took a faint path up past a ruin to re-join the grassy track back down to the car. Do not underestimate the roughness of this un-prepossessing hill, but with good views!" — marktrengove2 • Apr 10, 2021

"Parked at the track to Llyn Cwm Dulyn, taking it up to the lake. Then scaled the north-west ridge up to the summit plateau. Surveys of other tors on the plateau followed, and again of the summit. Then descended to Bwllch Cwmdulyn, leaving the others to descend to Rhos-las and back to the car. With MP and AW, on a day of bright sunshine but a biting NE wind." — marktrengove2 • Apr 10, 2021

"Parked (free) just in Co. Conwy in a lay-by at SH 66519 55945). Crossed the boggy moor up to the fine summit of Moel Berfedd, then descended steeply to Pen y Pass. Then took the Miners' Track up to the summit of Yr Wyddfa, descending by the Pyg Track. Then the path down to the A 498, reaching the car at dusk. Solo. A beautiful warm, cloudless, spring day." — marktrengove2 • Mar 30, 2021

"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." — marktrengove2 • Mar 27, 2021
