A brake in journey to Llanwrtyd Wells, parking on side of open access land to SW of pillar hill. Nice route up through heather clad hillside, picking up route of LDWA 2007 mid-Wales 100 before diverting off to pillar. Sunny and crisp in first cold winds of winter with great view south over The Roundabout to the northern escarpment of the Black Mountains- Cats Back to Mynydd Troed. Looped around to return much the same way. Now on to mid-Wales beer festival and Real Ale Ramble.

1/3 from roadside parking at ‘Ireland’. Easy route along the footpath and bridleway. Commanding views from Hay Bluff to the Carmarthen Fans. Trig is in good condition with Spider and FB intact.

Parked ENE, as Paulxtr, at pull in near the track that leads directly to trig. Trig can be seen from first high point which always helps. SH open, spider and flush bracket good but some screed at the top has cracked off and cap is missing.

16.4 mile walk bagging 7 hills and 4 trigs Red Hill, Wylfre, Aberedw Hill and Llanbedr Hill. Continuation from Aberedw Hill. Ascended from riverside road north-west up lane not marked on map (Other footpaths on map don't exist) slogged to the top onto the moorland lane then followed various tracks and trails to trig.

Slight damage to top of pillar. Welsh Dragons faded. Plug Missing. Views a bit misty today would be good on a clear day.

Bit of damage to the top of the trig point, looks like someone has tried to get the copper Y from the top as a sovereign or something, also footpath from Llanbedr side, awkward to find, to start the walk.

Great panoramic views. The Black Mountains look great with thin streaks of snow running down them. You can clearly see how the top of the pillar has been added separately from the main body as it is breaking away from the pillar. Also the hooks are very deeply set.

Walked over to this one after having joined S-N and party at his last Welsh Trig Point bag. It felt quite stange again walking alone after having walked in a group all day. Had to hop through heather for the last 400 meters on way up but found sheep track in way down.

Walked from the cottage we use for the Royal Welsh Show, near Painscastle. The last few hundred yards trackless but worth the detour.

An interesting hill. There are some rotten limestone crags with pinnacles nearby. Usual Radnor Forest, lots of pleasant grassy rides makingit easy to cover the rough grass or heather.
