Daniel Moran walked up Moel Hebog on December 29th, 2023 [from/via/route] From beddgelart campsite [with] Michelle Roberts Moran [weather] Cloudy - We walked from the campsite though the woods along the river path, up the shoulder & back through the forest road path Frankie was with us
Melfyn Parry climbed Moel Hebog on July 23rd, 2023 [from/via/route] Parked in the carpark just off the A4085 just before reaching the centre of Beddgelert on the Caernarfon Road. Crossed over the A4085 & took a path that crossed under & over the Welsh Highland Railway line 3 times before taking a well signposted path (Moel Hebog). The path is quite steep in parts & loose stone makes for hard going at times. We eventually reached the summit of Moel Hebog & then continued down the slope to Bwlch Meillion. The plan was to ascend Moel yr Ogof from here but the weather closed in & visibility was poor. So we descended along the side of the wall to reach the forest. The path through the trees followed the stream which was in full flow, parts of the path were quite boggy but we eventually reached the forest track that lead past Beudy Ysgubor & Parc Ty'n y Coed to rejoin the outward leg to return to the carpark. [with] With 10 members of PRC, which dropped to 2 because of the weather [weather] Started off okay but rain soon developed which was quite heavy at times. Sun came out for final half hour of the route. - Aiming to return to this area soon to do this peak again together with the other 2 Nuttalls.
