Birthday Trig!!! Shame the weather and the Views weren’t great. But still enjoyed it even if we did nearly get blown off the top into the ocean.

Walked up from NT car park on a day exploring Strumble Head. Trig sits on a rocky outcrop with amazing views. Very windy and a little tricky to get to. In good condition with spider and FB intact.

Walked along the Pembrokeshire Coast path from Aber Mawr beach then climbed Garn Fawr via a path opposite the youth hostel. A misty day so no views from above half way up but can imagine the views will be fantasticon a clear day. Pillar in good condition.

Nice parking very close to Trig SM 89913 38840. Short walk from here, with a little scramble up to the pillar, turned around and was awestruck by the incredible scenery. From here, short drive to Wdig to enjoy fish and chips overlooking Fishguard Harbour.

Just got there as the light was almost gone. Superb position set atop a rocky outcrop and with fantastic coastal views. Probably the best I've visited. As I ran down the path back to the car park I passed someone walking up who exchanged a word about looking for a trig point. Popular!

After waiting half an hour in the nearby car park for the heavy rain and most of the low cloud to clear we took the very easy path up to the summit tor and trig, unbelievably when at the top the cloud cleared revealing Strumble Head and the coastline west. Later that day stumbled across the bolt on Carn Llidi then went on to bag Haverfordwest and Carmarthen FBMs on the way home.

Probably the easiest "classified hill" I've ever done, up from the adjacent NT car park (free) then another restless for the head beautiful walk - down to Strumble then along the coast - for a second climb in warm sunshine, the other tors on the range well worth a stroll.

From car park on minor road to E. Short walk up to this quite spectacular little rocky tor with the trig prominently atop. Pillar sits on a large concrete plinth at summit of this HuMP; cap missing, no plug; RHD side and rear sight holes open. Excellent 360deg panoramic views, especially to nearby rocky promontories. Nearby remains of WWI lookout post.
