Fellow go4awalkers who have already walked, climbed, summited & bagged Pen Twyn Glas
Melfyn Parry walked up Pen Twyn Glas on July 16th, 2024 [from/via/route] Followed go4awalk route PO153 - Pen Cerrig Calch & Waun Fach from Neuadd Fawr. Once on the ridge the walk is relatively easy, good paths. There are some areas that are quite boggy, so be prepared if following this route after lots of rain. The first peak was hard going, lots of tall bracken & bilberry bushes to fight your way through, I was so glad to reach the top of Pen Cerrig Calch. The final path from the cairn to the minor road leading back to the car park was also overgrown with bracken & the public footpath part was seriously neglected from a maintenance perspective, although the stiles looked almost new the path itself was overgrown with nettle, bramble & even more bracken making the last leg of the walk hard work. [with] On my own [weather] Sunny spells & generally dry. For a mid July walk it was quite cool at times. - Best to avoid this walk when the bracken is in season. If you have to walk in the summer months & especially after rain, waterproofs are a must as the grasses & bracken don't dry out at their base & you can get seriously wet even though you think it's a dry day.
