High-level Walks

Manod Mawr/Nameless (FG H1)

Ascend the nameless peak on ssss1. Leave the cairn, staying on about 160° until Llyn Pysgod comes into sight just beyond a quarry road, then proceed S to the nameless lake at 727451. The descent does not involve much height loss and it is then little more than a simple stroll to claim Manod Mawr. Return to base on ssss1.

Ffestiniog Hills complete (FG H2)

The grand slam of the Ffestiniog Hills cannot easily (or pleasantly) be done without some backtracking.

There are numerous options. One of the best is to climb the nameless peak via Cwm Teigl on ssss1 and then make a return trip to Moel Penamnen, setting out direct across the ‘mini Migneint’ and returning along the shores of Llyn Bowydd and Llyn Newydd as in ssss1. Cross from the nameless peak over to Manod Mawr and then coast home above the blue of Llyn y Manod on ssss1.

Llyn y Manod (FG L1)

FFOREST FAWR

FFOREST FAWR

Visit Fforest Fawr and you will be among the forgotten hills of S Wales. For every 100 ramblers who tramp the Black Mountains or the Brecon Beacons probably no more than ten explore Mynydd Du (Black Mountain), and of them perhaps only one ever sets foot in Fforest Fawr. This is all the more surprising considering Fforest Fawr’s strategic position, nicely tucked between the Beacons and Mynydd Du, and its claim to at least as large a share of the higher ground as its peers.
