Overview

We start walking up hill on a forest road then veer off over very rough ground, (climbing for about one mile) no footpaths, up to the trig at Fan Bwlch Chwyth 603m. From there we will make our way on undulating footpaths until we descend slightly before beginning the ascent up to Fan Gyhirych 725m. The route back to the start is on forestry road. Poles and boots recommended. Please dress for the weather conditions.
