"A good four-hour walk from the small car park by the bridge at the bottom of the Elan reservoir. Took the long sweeping route marked on the OS which goes in a wide loop around. Up good gravel track and then heading on past waterfalls to eventually reach the turn off for Gorllwyn, actually overextending for a bit because the marked path for Drygarn Fawr most come earlier from the right and I missed it. I think marked with wooden posts now as appeared when reencountered it. Just headed west along tracks and on high ground Drygarn becomes visible with its two prominent heads of assembled stone. Far reaching views. Trig point a tiny bit further west. Returned on more prominent path which passes Carreg-Yr-Ast but this route is not on OS. Went up this hill for a quick detour and then descended more directly down one of the noses of these hills that sniffle at the valley. At small sheep feeding station rejoining the gravel track. 14km. 4 hours. With AB " — vygodski • Jan 14, 2022

"Parked after the cottage near the end of the asphalt road from Llanwrthwl. Up the boggy two-wheeled track until higher ground cutting off South and then South east along a gradually diminish track. Going quite straightforward. Boggy in patches. Great expansive views all round. I spy a Marilyn! Beautiful clear blue sky, so rare recently." — vygodski • Jan 12, 2022

"Parked on road to wws and roughly followed bridleway that runs west-east slightly to the south. Crossed three rain engorged streams in the gullies, to reach the foot of this where left bridleway (for what it is) and climbed faint path direct to top. Returned same way, surprisingly with dry feet!" — vygodski • Feb 23, 2020

"Walked from the layby at 921-706 to the north, westish to Waun Fign and up Esgair Perfedd. From here mostly followed the odd two-foot high concrete pillars every 50 yards or so to the rocks west, (Crugyn Gwyddel) then on to here. Returned vaguely NNE crossing stream and the walking back up road. Hard going underfoot in places due to thick, soggy grasses." — vygodski • Jan 19, 2020

"Sunday 3rd June 2018. A stravaig over the moors of the Elenydd, Ceredigion, Mid Wales, from the mountain road east of Tregaron. The hills were Cefn y Cnwc 527m/48m, Mynydd Tywi 548m/90m, Pt. 545m Mynydd Tywi 545m/34m, Garn Gron 541m/52m, Gopa Uchaf 509m/86m, Esgair Fawr 496m/30m and Esgair Ffrwd 487m/31m. 27.8km, with 850m of ascent. 9hrs 40mins. This hike was effectively two walks rolled into one, and I just kept going. The weather was hot and sunny all day, and the area new to me, and challenging, so I made the most of my day. I took the high mountain road east over the moors from the busy town of Tregaron. The road itself was an interesting drive in my new car, taking me up the southern flank of Cwm Berwyn, an impressive deep glacial valley sporting some significant crags on its northern side. Extensive outcrops of rock are unusual on these high grassy moors, and so much more notable when they do occur. I had difficulty parking by a telephone box where others had parked before, as the area had been cordoned off with boulders and ‘no parking’ signs. I turned south, where I found a large lay-by some 500 metres away, close to a foot- and road-bridge over the Afon Cam..." — marktrengove2 • Jun 3, 2018
