Parked at cross roads near Bwlch, then via good tracks to flattish summit area north of trig. Cloudy but dry so far this am.

Deep cracks, surface crazed, 2 smallish chunks missing. I would call this Damaged but its a grey area. Metal cap, deep letters. My penultimate Welsh Trig Pillar (see Red Hill). Blustery day, nice views.

Worked up an appitite for lunch by joining S-N and other esteemed walkers and triggers up to this trig. The nearest nutalls were just visible through the low cloud to the north.

Continued on from Gwaunceste. Initial going is rough but there is a track that drops down to the N of the triple stream that takes alot of the effort out. Then it is just tracks all the way some unmarked on the map to the top. Return on a number of different bridleways with at least three route options to near the forest inn just before the heavy showers set in. Some damage to the top and small lumps out of one side with high level cracks all over the place. Nothing serious enough to warrent the next step down the chain though

Evidence of cracking on pillar.Views well worth the effort of walk in,with Radnor and the Beacons amongst the best points.Combined with Gwaunceste Hill a lovely circular walk from the Pool SW of Fforest Inn.

Been here a few times, a fine moor that makes a good day out with Gwaunceste Hill.
