Cwm Cywarch/Hengwm circular (AN H2)

This runs the Cwm Croes horseshoe a close second.

The kernel of the walk is scaling Aran Fawddwy via Cwm Cywarch on ssss1 and then returning down Hengwm on ssss1. However this is easier than it looks, and three additions should be considered:

 The first is to branch out to Pen yr Allt-uchaf, maybe using Cwm Terwyn rather than Hengwm for the way home.

 The second is to include Gwaun y Llwyni en route to Aran Fawddwy in the morning. Gwaun does not look exciting, but as a vantage point over Hengwm it is second to none.

 Thirdly you could start on ssss1, climbing Glasgwm first before following the fence down its NE slopes to join ssss1 on the moors above Cwm Cywarch. The trouble with this is that you miss the best part of the cwm.

Llanymawddwy horseshoe (AN H3)

A walk for the connoisseur!

Put simply this combines two routes on Aran Fawddwy (ssss1 and ssss1), and it is a toss-up which is the better way round. What you can be sure of are charming valleys at either end of the day, the grandeur of the high Arans in the middle, solitude and the excitement of treading self-effacing little tracks that normally only see sheep and the odd shepherd.
