After about 1 mile a deepish gully looms ahead with a break in the crags L (813322). This is your signal to desert the valley and to scramble up to the flat marshy ‘badlands’ that guard Dduallt's N and E approaches. Once aloft, bear R for drier ground along the shallow ridge of Mynydd Brynllech that bounds the depression W.

Looking north from Dduallt's east flank to Moel y Llyfnant and Arenig Fawr

Looking west from Cerrig Chwibanog to Rhobel y Big and the distant Rhinogs

The scenery is the very archetype of wild Wales: Arenigs N, Rhinogs W, Arans E, Cader Idris S. No hint of civilisation intrudes as the gaze leaps to the far blue haze. Nothing disturbs the fantasy of hills and heath, bog and woodland that overwhelms as much by its spaciousness as its calm beauty. Keep S along the ridge. You should meet the banks of the Mawddach, near the ford at 810293, to finish on ssss1.

Cerrig Chwibanog route (AG24)

A magnificent day awaits anyone coupling this descent with the previous climb up (ssss1).
