Parked at Llangorse Lake and followed the lake path around to the church before joining the Three Rivers Ride Trail. Trigpoint located just off the path. Great views of East and West Brecon Beacons as well as the lake.

Easy walk up along the bridleway to the trig, after passing the initial puddle by the gate! Through the trees gives the walk a little more interesting perspective with red kites seemingly everywhere! Trig sits with great views towards Llangors and the black mountains and the Beacons on the other side, sun hitting the top makes the ridges spectacular! Trig in good condition, Spider, Flush bracket and Cap all good.

A short walk from the road to the north. An extra trig pillar after a walk up to Mynydd Llangorse earlier in the day, and it probably didn't seen very exciting after that one. An easy walk, although we did cross a field of cows and the footpath was overgrown with nettles. Views of the lake. Worth a visit to the nearby village of Tallylyn, which has installed a mini museum in an old phone box! A nice surprise, all about the old railways in the area, now long gone.

Yeah, easy walk up bridleway from lane. Lovely great oak trees at start of the walk. Muddy and slippery today so careful going. The trig point on the hill behind Llangorse Lake is the one with the red dragons.

As I sit on top of the pillar to write this right now the winter sun is shining on me and the 360 degree views are fabulous!!! There is also a bit of snow on the higher points of the Heaviness which has added to my pleasure. Perfect! An easy to find pillar just of the bw that is in good condition.

Visited en-route to bagging the Marilyn, Allt yr Esgair. Parked in Llanfihangel and had a pleasant 8 mile circular walk also picking up 2 cut benchmarks in the village. The pillar is in good condition; original metal cap in place; rear site hole open, others closed; sporting 2 OS plates - one in English and one in Welsh. Very good views: SW to the main Brecon range, SE to Allt yr Esgair, and E to Llangorse Lake and the Black Mountains.

Walked 600 metres up well-used footpath to pillar from bend in lane due west of Talyllyn. No good places to park near here, lay-bys are actually passing places although not marked as such. Parked in gateway to field while one of us stayed in car. Pillar is actually at a higher altitude than nearby radio mast - first time I have seen this. Brecon Camp can be seen from here, 7.8 km according to GPS. Great views, pity about the mist.

The ascent is relatively gentle, yet the top gives 360 degree views, including llangorse Lake, the Black Mountains, Allt yr Esgair and the central Beacons. Well worth the walk.

We parked at the bend just before Talyllyn and went from there along the bridle path which doesn't seem to be used by horses much. The trig is in an open bit of field, so no fences to climb. Ubiquitous mast, but also excellent views of the Black Mountains and Beacons. 2 GPS plaques, plug with indented lettering.

Good views of the Brecon Beacons from the path leading to unpainted pillar, which was under a hawthorn tree leaning in the direction of the prevailing wind. Pillar itself surrounded by chopped down hawthorn bushes which we cleared away to get a good photograph. 2nd visit on 27th March 1986.
