Mynydd Tywi [Pen y Maen North Top]: Short trek to summit but not easy

From Mynydd Tywi East Top head back down to track back to junction and head west along firebreak. When I was there in 2016 there was a lot of fallen trees and it was not simple. Maybe it is easier...

Parked to south near a bridge. Followed track alongside the river heading North before veering off to the east at a gap in the Crags. A steep climb leads to the unmarked summit.

As is often the case the best views are on the ascent or descent and not at the summit

wicklore: Track 2313 in area near Coumaraglin Mountain, Comeragh Mountains (Ireland)
Mind the metal
Length: 6.9km, Creator time taken: 2h 4m, Ascent: 310m,
Descent: 290m

Places: Start at S27050 01570, Coumaraglin Mountain, end at Start
Logged as completed by 1

Coumaraglin is easily reached from the starting point on the road to the south. Parking at a wide Coillte entrance, it is a climb of 300m over bog to the summit. There is a large coum a couple of hundred meters to the east of the summit which is well worth viewing. I then followed the edge of the coum south for a while to enjoy the views before veering away southwest to head down to my car. Be careful if going near the coum edges. There is a horrible metal structure to support masts at the summit, and another curious large transmitter device low to the ground near the coum edge. If you can ignore these you will enjoy the walk!
