This begins from the boggy depression at about 904193 mentioned in ssss1, so is most likely to be of interest to walkers seeking to climb Fan Nedd on their way back from Fan Gihirych. From the bog a trail is clearly visible snaking up towards the N cairn. Where it becomes a little capricious higher up, head direct for the ridge through easy, short-cropped heather.

S ridge (FF16)

This route is used in ssss1 as a descent to the picnic area near the woods at 927165.

The way is obvious, indeed the bridge at the picnic area can be seen quite clearly from the summit of Fan Nedd. The only decision is when to drop down L to the road – it is best left until just before the woods.

High-level Walks

The E edge walk (FF H1)

Climb Fan Fawr from the Storey Arms and then drop down to the depression near Craig y Fro, walking first on 315° and then on 45° to avoid the scattered crags that litter the peak’s N slopes. Follow the edge N along a narrow path until, having crossed a wire fence, you join the path climbing up from Cwm Cerrig-gleisiad. Stay with this round the rim of the cwm and carry on to Fan Frynych along a bulldozed road. This starts near a gate where the cwm trail meets a wall coming in from the W (ssss1 refers).
