NE ridge (FF6)

Take the track along the wall mentioned in ssss1. This crosses a couple of lively little streams and skirts some pretty glades R where many a happy hour could be whiled away. When the wall falls away R, shortly before the woods of Coed Ty-mawr, be sure to stay with the track as it bears L by a lone waymark sign. Soon you come to a stile and intersect a bulldozed track at 967236. Turn sharp L here and then be prepared for a dull plod up the ridge of Twyn Dylluan-ddu, with only an ancient cairn R and the green of Glyn Tarell behind you to relieve the monotony before the trig point at least breaks the skyline R. The bulldozed track can also be joined from a brace of minor roads just S of Forest Lodge (ssss1).

Fan Frynych

SW ridge (FF7)

There is no path from Pont Blaen Cwm-du to Fan Frynych, but strong walkers should have no difficulty in scaling the ridge at almost any point.

Pont Blaen Cwm-du (943215) provides an entrée to several unfrequented routes including this ascent of Fan Frynych, Fan Llia (ssss1), and the exploration of Cwm-du itself (ssss1). It is most easily reached by a footpath that climbs up the prettily wooded hillside behind the farmstead of Blaensenny at 933215. This meets the bridleway that crosses Pont Blaen Cwm-du just 200yd to the S of it. The bridleway can also be joined at 925185, where it branches off the mountain road that links the Senni Valley to Ystradfellte, or by walking S down the lane from the crossroads at 939238.
