Foel Offrwm: Short trek to summit

Summit Comment Fergalh 12 hours ago
Parked to west in small car park and crossed road and followed track for a while before we went straight up through the heather. This is marked with a square cairn

Ceiswyn: The view from North west

Summit Comment Fergalh 12 hours ago
In this photo the ascent of Ceiswyn can be seen. After reaching the summit it was a simple matter of heading south east and bypassing Mynydd Cwmeiddew to enter the forest and follow the forest ...

Ceiswyn: Nice ridge walk from Mynydd Fron-fraith

Summit Comment Fergalh 12 hours ago
From Mynydd Fron-fraith it was a simple matter of handrailing the edge of the cut down forest and heading in a roughly southerly direction. This was along a narrow undulating ridge that led to ...

Mynydd Fron-fraith: The View West

Summit Comment Fergalh 12 hours ago
This was a long ascent to this summit but worth it for this view from near the summit to the west

Summit Comment Fergalh 12 hours ago
From Godre Fynydd we dropped down onto forest track and than followed it past where we had joined it. We stopped directly east of the top as we had noticed from Godre Fynydd that the trees were...

Godre Fynydd: View from North west

Summit Comment Fergalh 13 hours ago
From the north west it looks daunting but it was not as bad as it looked as it was a heather bash rather than a push through

Summit Comment Fergalh 13 hours ago
Just to the North of Mynydd Cwmeiddew there was a track running south east. We dropped onto that and headed down that way until due north of the summit. The tress had a gape here but it was sti...

Mynydd Cwmeiddew: Tal Y Llyn lake from the slopes

Summit Comment Fergalh 13 hours ago
As is often on some hills the best views are on the slopes and not on the summit and this mountain was no exception.

Mynydd Cwmeiddew: Long trek to summit

Summit Comment Fergalh 13 hours ago
Parked in Corris Uchaf and walked North on A487 (busy road care is needed) for a few hundred metres as far as entrance to forest. The track wound its way through forest gradually getting higher...

Moel Heulen: Short climb to summit from track

Summit Comment Fergalh 13 hours ago
Parked in the village of Corris and followed the forest tracks that wound around the hills ignoring all turns left. When you reach southwest of summit near a T Junction look for a firebreak. Fr...

Foel Boeth: View from the east

Summit Comment Fergalh a day ago
This was my third hill called Foel Beoth in the area and was hard earned. This is the view from the west top of Foel Ddu as there was no path and declining light, the route decision was important.

As with Derryreel from the coastal side the ridge this hill is located on is impressive but not so on the Muckish side , access is via the double gates located at C0103433730 A . Passing thru old stone workings you reach open hillside after a farm gate now follow the some what muddy trail right up to within meters of the summit.It is only a short walk but take some time in the old quarry and you will notice the rock with plenty of gold running thru it either the sign of pyrite in the rock or maybe it is the real thing and Mountain Views are ahead in classifying this hill as of historical importance . Well worth a visit for the views but if you decide on a ridge walk be aware you will have a lot of fences to contend with as well as finding yourself close to some private dwellings.
