From Colva hill, was expecting it to be hard work after the recent wet weather but decent paths most of the way.

Clockwise circular loop from Glascwm. Parked in lay by just past the church. Very short pillar as it has sunk into the ground a little.

1/4 from Glascwm. Headed up from base of Little Hill along well marked tracks and PROW. Trig sits amongst the heather at the summit overlooking Llandegley Rocks. Trig is sunken into ground slightly so FB at ground level. Trig in good condition with spider, plug and FB intact

4/4 for day on anticlockwise route from old YHA at Glascwm. Felt like a long climb from E. Pillar prominent in heather moorland, gloomy and overcast, back to Glascwm at dusk.

A pretty wet and miserable (weather-wise) day. Bagged this from New Cwmceste Farm, then onto Colva Hill. Pillar found in good condition in a sea of heather. Original top cap retained, lightly indented lettering; all sight holes open. A rain-sodden 360deg panorama. Duff Gordon family (Gordon's Gin) own these moors and intention is to re-introduce grouse, possible access issues in the future?

Lovely walk up on bridleways from Llynheilyn where there is good parking. The last hundred meters or so is on feint paths through the heather. Trig looks fine.

I normally open up the new year with a loop of the Radnor tops but decided this year to knock off these two trigs on the other side of the road. Parked up on the sharp corner on the 481 just S of the Forest Inn then followed tracks all the way to the trig last pull being a bit overgrown. Trig fully intact with good if cloudy views
