Emily Reason walked up Y Gamriw on May 21st, 2022 [from/via/route] From Doldowlod. Cross the Wye at Llanwrthwl Bridge, bear R at the church, then follow the road marked "To Pen-Rhos only". Follow the road until it turns into a track on NT land. Look to the R for the path that leads up the SE side of Y Gamriw - the connecting footpath isn't obvious so just strike out when you're close. From the top of that path, head NE to the first (& highest) cairn, then to the trig point, & to the 2nd, 3rd & 4th cairns - roughly in a row heading NNE. Take a bearing at the trig point as the 2nd cairn dips out of view along the path. A very faint path can be seen & avoids the worst of the marshy ground (there was decent rain the day before). The same path leads down to the marked footpath descending into the farmyard at Dol-Lago, & then it's a good level path back to Llanwrthwl. Not a soul in sight, except sheep! [weather] Overcast.
