Erw y Ddafad Ddu

The name (Acre of the Black Sheep) says it all. The stony top with its sprawling cairn may not literally occupy an acre, but it certainly has that sort of feel about it – an unexpectedly flat interlude on the high-level tramp between Aran Benllyn and Aran Fawddwy. It is a superb viewpoint, on a par with the two Arans themselves but with the added advantage that they are also included. As for routes, anything leading to the two senior Arans will do.

Waen Camddwr

Seeing it on the ground it is scarcely credible that Waen Camddwr should be rated a 2000-footer in its own right. It is a pleasant enough little hillock in the midst of the damp undulating moors separating Aran Fawddwy from Glasgwm, and it sports a tiny cairn. However, that is all there is to say – without some prior homework the chances are that you would walk right by without even noticing it! Waen Camddwr is easily reached from Gwaun y Llwyni by descending NW along a new fence, but it is most naturally tackled en route to Aran Fawddwy on ssss1.
