From Llewelyn, the route first makes its way over Foel Grach. A little beyond the summit, tucked beneath small crags on the north side, is the stone-built Foel Grach Refuge. This has the bare necessities of door, roof, and visitors book in which to enter a banal commentary on your situation.

Beyond the refuge, the ridge continues as a broad arm – grass walls, fences, summits, stones – as far as Drum, the last summit of significance. From here the ridge continues to its bitter end above the car park; or it can be quitted for the track leading down from the small reservoir tucked in the hollow down left.
