A morning walk up to the trigpoint from the nearby Chapel. An easy path up with some nice views and a little sun at the top. Trig all in good order.

Parked at Capel y Baran and followed the path back to Baran Rd. then followed the footpath steadily uphill to the very prominent trig, the pillar is in good condition with the flush bracket, spider and cap still in place, not all sight holes are open, great all round views if the weather is fine.

Revisited this trig to look for my walking pole, which I may have left it here from my last visit. But.. after searching the area, I didn't come across it...

Nice trig with good views... a long trek to get there! Especially over the boggy parts.. easy to find when following the track.. found at SN 689 078 opposite another track leading to Gellionnen chapel.
