Overview

Pumlumon Fawr is the highest peak in mid Wales at 2468ft surrounded by  areas of mostly open moorland with none of the crowds associated with several of the Snowdonian Mountains. From the meeting point at Dyffryn Castell the route ascends through some damp ground which changes to drier underfoot & steepens considerably until a plateau is reached. It then ascends across high moorland alongside a coniferous plantation with the final part on a ridge with fine views.  The return is basically a re-run of the ascent with a possible deviation to be decided on the day.
