Kimberley Gratton bagged Bryn (Waun Rydd) on July 23rd, 2019 [from/via/route] I started off from Talybont Reservoir, going up NW on a signed track all the way to Allt Lwyd (this was VERY steep!) From there I went via the Cam Pica stone built beacon towards Waun Rydd, & then Gwaun Cerrig Lwydion. Finally heading to Bryn (Waun Rydd) & down back to Talybont Reservoir. [weather] Hot & Sunny - The path from Bryn back to Talybont Reservoir wasn't clear & not as pleasant as the rest of the walk. I would suggest going back the way you came.
