About 30 minutes from Llangynidr car park/ Blaen Onneu quarry. Walk on to Chartist Caves. Nice couple of hours wandering with great views all around.

First of three trigs on Christmas Eve. Visibility very poor with thick hill fog. Parked in lay-by on B4560 and straight walk over to trig point. Good condition and FB intact.

West out of car park along grassy track which curves south to a footpath from edge of woodland. The footpath isn't clearly obvious but several faint path do head up towards the trig point. Not much left of the old trig. Fantastic views.

Parked at roadside just as the road started to decend down. Path led west and went straight to trig. Was going to go from Car Park on map but decided on easier route. 30 mins. Trig in good condition, Flush Bracket good and spider too! Plug cap missing and filled. Old trig pieces nearby.

From the carpark, along the grassy track and then we got slightly lost, as there aren't any obvious paths to follow. Got up close to several curious wild horses. The trig point is painted white with red dragons. Lovely and sunny with good views, but we could see a storm coming in the distance so we didn't linger. Came back down a different way past the quarry.

From west via moorland and then excellent track from Chartist cave to pillar across otherwise very rough moorland. Prospect of no path beyond road to east dissuaded further progress east and descended through fields to Llangynidr.

I really enjoyed this visit. Parked in the car park on the mountain road and walked along the grassy track to the quarry. I didn't climb soon enough and overshot the position of the pillar. Short walk back and great spot for lunch. Followed the path back down to the quarry and car. Flipping windy today but clear views as far as Pen y Fan.

Parked at the start of the quarry road in Trefil near the barrier, north up the road and then east up onto the hill visiting the HuMP first then onward to this trig point. Nice of them to leave bits of the old trig around for people to sit on.

A very enjoyable way to spend St David's Day, with blue skies all around and fresh snow lying above 500 metres. A few knocks to the cementwork and a gouged flush bracket mean that I have downgrade the condition.

Replaced an old pillar on same location, remains of which can be seen around this pillar. Parking at roadside car park approx 1 mile to the NE on B4560. Pleasant walk across rough heathland that masquerades as a footpath - lots of interesting shake holes (aka sink holes). Visited this trig on way to HuMP of the same name a further 1.5 miles to SW (close to Chartists' Cave - worth a visit). Pillar in good condition standing on a plinth. Centre hole has a bitumen plug (might be cement), all sight holes open, pillar has had coat of white paint some time ago. Some of the numbers/letters on flush bracket suffered some damaged, but all are readable. Good 360 views.
