Straightforward walk up from Rosebush. Unfortunately, the miserable conditions completely obscured the potential views.

1/3 from Rosebush. Easy access along PROW to top of Foel Cwmcerwyn - highest point in Pembrokeshire. Views obscured by cloud, only fleeting glimpses from the trig. Trig sits on mound and full concrete base. Trig is in good condition with spider and FB intact.

Good walk from the car park on the B4329. The boggy areas had all dried up. Amazing views on this glorious day looking out to Carningli and the coastline. Walked on further to Foel Feddau where there is a good view of the Bluestone quarry at Carn Goedog. Lunch then back to the car.

Cloud still down on hilltop so no views today. Pillar roughly cast with large cicular concrete base; cap missing, no plug; all sight holes open.
