Arenig Fawr and Moel Llyfnant across the Migneint with Llyn Serw

For a fresh way home head for Mochowgryn (tussocky heather again) and then Carnedd Iago (easier going restored). Iago is the highest point of the day apart from Arenig Fach and a splendid vantage point for admiring the arc of encircling hills. When you resume, follow a faint track along the perimeter of the woods W, trending N of W. As you do this, look out for a line of boundary stones. Follow these for 0.75 mile after the woods desert you L, then strike out W for Llyn Dywarchen. Lying in a shallow, windswept hollow it is as cheerless a sheet of water as any in Wales.

For tired walkers the easiest way home is N to regain the road near Rhyd Cerig-gwynion. However, purists may prefer to take a compass bearing and keep to the moors via Llechwedd-mawr.

Carnedd y Filiast

The simple heathery mound called Carnedd y Filiast seldom merits a second glance, yet first impressions can deceive. It may have no mountain ruggedness, but for crisp moorland walking with long vistas, peace and solitude it ranks among the best.
