Walked up from pub car park. Terrible conditions with rain, wind and fog so poor visibility. Nice walk though and lots of red kites around.

Parked at llangeinor arms. Followed maps up to the trig. Conditions were rough, very poor visibility. Lower down the hill the views were cool as there was Less fog. Spotted several red kites aswell.

Very easy walk up from the llangeinor arms pub. When you come to the gate almost a mile up keep going straight up the hill. There are white arrows spray painted on the grass to take you right, don't follow them 🤣 The views from the trig were amazing. No water around trigg as it's been a dry month. But alot of the mountain has been burnt by fires....such a shame

Linear walk from Ogwr Vale to Maesteg. 1/2 Bus into Ogwr Vale, then bridleway marked on map up Cwm Cyffog, where at least two fences without gates/stiles were encountered. Felt alot more comfortable once out onto open hillside. Excellent views from pillar, whole sweep of Vale of Glamorgan and Bristol Channel. Then walked west and down side of small valley, keeping on open access land, to road in Garw Valley.

Parked in Llangeinor village and walked a circular route up past Ffawyddog farm and down past Llangeinor Arms pub. Good views of the surrounding mountains.

3 of 3 today including 2 revisits to Llangeinor and Nant-Hir, we parked and in the car park on top of the Bwlch Rd. and walked along the hills above the Garw and Ogmore valleys towards Llangeinor, this pillar is in fair condition with some cracking the FB and Spider are all in place but the centre plug is missing and it looks like either the spider has been vandalised or the fixings have eroded, sight holes are open except for some litter.

The wind had dropped and the sun was shining could not have been better. Parked near pub & Church . Lots of Skylarks singing as we walked the bridleway and track up to the trig point.

Parked up opposite St Ceinwyr Chuch next to the Llangeinor Arms. Bridleway leads on from here and leads straight to the trig, easy 30 minute walk. A little wet, slippery and muddy but with some super views back as the clouds cleared. Probably better after a drier period but still a nice little 3km round trip! Trig in a little pool. Heavy weathering of Spider-Hanging on at present with a few chunks taken out. One sight hole open, top cap/plug missing, Flush Bracket in place.

The third of a trio of trigs visited with meltdiceburg on a walk along the Mynydd Llangeinwyr ridge from the Werfa wind farm to Pen-y-Foel. This trig is slightly damaged but there are some great views from it over the valley to the sea.

Been plenty of times, local to me up the Garw. From Nant-hir lakes, taking in that trig too. From Blaengarw taking in Werfa/Mynydd Llangeinor and Nant-hir trigs. Views are always spectacular on a clear day. Done a walk this year taking in these 3 and the two above Ogmore Vale/Nantymoel, loved it.

From the N after visiting Pant Blaenhirwr tump summit. Parking in residential area to E and following an near non-existent FP along Cwm Cyffog. Pillar sits in a moat and has suffered a major trauma to the top, looks like a spider extraction has been attempted! Top cap missing, no plug; LHS sight hole open. Nice 360deg panorama.

#312 P#228 P2016#28. Parked at a lovely pub and then walked up the muddy track. Trig has a wee moat around it. Discovered on the way back down why it's so muddy. Quad bikers, scramble bikes and horse riders belting up and down.

Parked at llangeinor arms at SS9247787872. Easy walk to the trig with good views. Decided to carry on to TP5060 - Nant-Hir despite having been there before. Wish I had not because it rained heavily.

An excellent walk up from the Llangeinor Arms. When the stone walls stop the obvious track leads right up to the trig. Good views Northwards towards Werfa. Tarmac plug that has been pushed through.
