Fellow go4awalkers who have already walked, climbed, summited & bagged Bera Bach
Melfyn Parry walked up Bera Bach on May 15th, 2022 [from/via/route] Start point is car park in Bethesda, route taken involved walking around Moelwyn Faban, then up LLefn. Walked on path around Y Gyrn & followed this across to Drosgl. Took path around Drosgl up towards Bera Bach & ascended summit from South side. Retraced steps & then walked across heathland to ascend summit of Bera Mawr. This was a good short scramble & the two monoliths do resemble Adam & Eve on Tryfan. Too windy to try anything heroic so retraced steps to base & then followed path around base of Bera Bach to follow path down over Gyrn Wigau before returning to carpark via Gerlan. [with] On my own [weather] Great initially, very warm. Wind picked up about 11am so added a layer. Spots of rain towards the end but a great day out. - Could have added peaks of Y Gyrn & Drosgl but have done these before so saved my energy for the Bera's. 15km walk today.
Sion Britton climbed it on May 1st, 2021 [from/via/route] O Bethesda [with] Solo [weather] Braf
Andy Buxton bagged it during April, 1991 [from/via/route] From Aber Falls: Bera Mawr, Bera Back Carnedd Gwenllian, Foel Grach, Foel Fras
Christina Lander hiked Bera Bach on September 29th, 2018 [from/via/route] Bont Newydd (Abergwyngregin) - Drum - Foel Fras - Carnedd Gwenllian - Bera Bach - Drosgl - Aber Falls - Bont Newydd [with] Dick & Meg [weather] A fine, dry day but very windy on the tops. Plenty of sunny spells. - We struggled to find our way between Drosgl & Aber Falls. Crossing the river at the top of the falls was challenging!
Mark Davidson summited on August 6th, 2002 [with] Alone [weather] Warm with high cloud but a bit hazy - Route directions for this walk are excellent
