Quick walk past this one on way to Cwm Hywel as part of traverse of whole Rhinog Ridge. Already bagged some years ago. Nothing noted.

A walk up from Barmouth to tackle all four pillars along the ridge to the north. Fine views over the Mawddach estuary to the south and over to the Llyen Peninsular to the north.

Walked up from Llanaber while checking on DofE teams at Pont Scethin and Cwm nantcol. Great views all round and a couple of Her majesty's finest jet bombers gave a slow flypast below the ridge of Cadair Idris. Top of pillar damaged.

Parked as other triggers at end of Precipice Walk (not much other parking available) and walked up the road then via the path that loops behind the transmitter mast. A pleasant walk and worthwhile view... Cader Idris had its table cloth spilling down its north face

Excellent walk up from Barmouth to the trig. The nearby cairned 462m spot height on the other side of the wall counts as a 'Pedwar' (a Welsh 400m summit) https://sites.google.com/site/europeaklist/Home/united-kingdom/wales--cymru/the-pedwars .

Hiked up from Barmouth not really expecting to find a Trig that day, so this was a bonus! Helped walk off a guest house fry up too! Follow my trip by tapping Fell Finder into Google.

Me at the unexpected to find Trig!

Felt fit to walk up to this one. parked at start of Panorama Walk and up towards Barmouth Slabs. Followed ROW to TV mast then up to the ridge line. Many birds in song. First sight of Wheatears and sounds of Willow Warblers for the current season. Extensive views on this calm evening to the Lleyn Peninsular, Cadair Idris, along Llawlech to Dyffwys and the Mawddach.

Stone pillar in good condition, except that much of concrete around spider lost. Metal plug [raised letters]. Public. Access Land. Snowdonia National Park. Fine approach along the ridge from north east. Handrail the wall, keeping it to your right, cross it by the stile in Bwlch Cwmmaria, then ascend steeply to the trig. Spectacular descent into Barmouth.

Wonderful location ,stunning views are the words i would use if it were not cloudy .. Shame really because the location is great ,pleasant walking and the gaps that formed on the way back give a taster of what would be on offer ... Cadair ,and the Coastline South from Barmouth . pillar is stone built like many in the area and accessed easily from the SW on ROWs ,The area is now access land so no issues there. Can recomend a camp site just North of Barmouth at Trawsdir ,not the cheapest but excellent facilities.
