The Route
9am parked car on B4418 right at start of walk, set of through gate SW then W and followed well marked path up Y Garn, 1hr 20mins .
- View back to start and Snowdon.
Views were as you can see first class.
- The way ahead.
- The Scramble.
From Y Garn we headed WSW to Myndd Drws-y-coed for the scramble to the top.
For best scrambling we stayed on the ridge as much as possible. From top we then head SW then W to top of Trum y Dysgl. From top head SW then W again for easy walk to the top of Mynydd Tal-y-mignedd, 3hrs 30mins.
- The Oblisk
- Looking back to Trum y Dysgl.
After first lunch stop we then set off for Craig Cwm Silyn, follow ridge S then SW to Bwlch Dros-bern then skirted to the right of the ridge ahead to find path to top 5hrs.
- Myself on Craig Cwm Silyn.
After 2nd lunch retraced path to Bwlch Dros-bern then headed SE down hillside to head for Cwm Trwsgl. This section of route had few clear paths to follow and was quite hard work. once to the Quarry workings it was then just follow the path to Bwlch-y-Ddwy-elor and through the forest back to the start.
- Y Garn, Mynydd Drws-y-coed, Trum y Dysgl, Mynydd Tal-y-mignedd and Craig Cwm Silyn.
