Waun Fach

"Please don't try to follow my route through the forest - you'll regret it! ;-) Long story short, got the adventure, got hail, snow, rain, sunshine, and some minus temps on the tops! Trashed my knee trying to take short cuts through steep forest with a ridiculous number of trees flattened by the storm last week. The road in resembled a bomb going off. The amount of trees that have come down over the road that have been chain sawed and cleared. All the farms and houses still without power with generators the size of cars outside their houses provided by the electric grid company. All the electric cables and phone lines still strewn along and across the road. " — adventure-stricken • Dec 14, 2024

"Solo. Parked at carpark near summit of Gospel Pass. Ascended on good path to summit of Twmpa. Continued on path to Rhos Dirion. Highest point is SE of trig point. Followed gravel path which goes SW from trig point for somewhat over 1km. Continued on path to Waun Fach. Highest point is NE of trig point base. Returned same way. Misty from time to time. Only met a few others, all at or near Twmpa." — peter43 • Sep 18, 2018

"Solo from Gospel Pass, up Twmpa, Rhos Dirion, Pen y Manilwyn to this top. Easy going on nice, green grass paths but bothered by bees on the summits. Then on south to Pen Trumau, Mynydd Llysiau, Pen Twyn Glas (where I walked into a swarm of flying ants) to Pen Allt-Mawr. From here the path was beastly underfoot, uneven with large stones. On to Pen Cerrig-Calch and Table Mountain to end. Was in two minds about taking in Pen y Gadair Fawr when up Waun Fach but decided, wisely to stick to the itinerary, as it was enough as it was. Fortunately got picked up at the end of the walk. Nice!" — vygodski • Sep 1, 2018

"Parked from Crickhowell and walked North to find the path towards Rhos Dirion over the ridge.on the Left hand side. Climbed over Pen Cerrig-Calch, Pen Allt-Mawr, Pen Twyn Glas and Mynydd Llysiau on the way. As it was getting dark we decided instead of continuing the route around to, but to go directly from Waun Fach Summit to the valley and back to the car. " — steverd • Feb 17, 2009
