Fellow go4awalkers who have already walked, climbed, summited & bagged Moel Fferna
Melfyn Parry walked up Moel Fferna on May 12th, 2025 [from/via/route] Followed route DN103 but as I was only interested in the Nuttalls, i.e. Moel Fferna & Pen Bwlch Llandrillo Top I didn't ascend Pen Creigiau'r Barcut or Pen y Ladron. These are very quiet hills, didn't see anyone all day. The route grid references & notes are very good. [with] On my own [weather] It was a lovely day, bright & generally quite warm - Great views in all directions as mostly on open moorland. You spend quite a bit of the time walking towards the Berwyns with Cadair Bronwen at the forefront of the range from this side.
