From roadside parking at Tan Y Pistyll, up beside waterfall then on the permissive path (boggy in places) over Trum Felen to Moel Sych. Crossed the fence then on to both Cadair Berwyn summits. Paused to eat lunch in the large wind shelter. Descent (quite steep) along the top of Craig Y Llyn cliffs to the outfall of Llyn Lluncaws then followed the valley of Nant y Llyn to the road. Approx 5.5 miles, 1900 feet ascent. Cold and breezy day, cloudy-bright with passing showers. With Lindsey.Skip25/09/2020

Former official summit of Cadair Berwyn now replaced by the rocky outcrop which is 3m higher. The trig point at this location is in the incorrect spot and needs relocating. Views of Cadair Bronwen in the distant.giant_hiker03/08/2019

Off for a full day hike with a group of friends from Shrewsbury. Parked at the Pistyll Rhaeadr carpark, and a long slow walk up the Nant y Llyn valley. Steep climb up the ridge of Craig y Llyn overlooking Llyn Lluncaws, then a march along the top to bag both Cadair Berwyns, old and new. Easy bagging of Moel Sych on the way back down to Pistyll Rhaeadr across Trum Felen. 700 metre ascents, 7 miles walking, just over 6 hours (but with a big group of children).Cangarwbach19/04/2019

From Llandrillo via Cadair Berwyn on a very hot day. Out and back to Moel Sych then back along the ridge to a wild camp on Bronwen. Gorgeous walking along the escarpment but the top isn't a patch on the main peak.Jake99405/05/2018
