"The principal objective of a 15km long round walk from the carpark at the end of the valley road to the south. This went steeply up the ravine to east and north of Glasgwm, taking in Waun Camddwr through the boggy land. Some kind soul has placed planks through the worst part of this path which follows the fenceline pretty much to the top of Aran Fawddwy. A very hot day I couldn't stay at the top long because of the swarms of flying ants, so descended quickly via Drysgol, taking in Waun Goch, before descending along the long diagonal line south westwards." — vygodski • Aug 9, 2022

"Solo walk. From the carpark at the SE end of Llanuwchllyn. Ascended the north ridge of Aran Fawddwy. Deviated to take in Garth Fach and Garth Fawr. Went to the summits of Pen-aran, Aran Benllyn and Erw y Ddafad-ddu on way up. Back same way but not going to summits of various tops. Mostly dry but rain towards the end." — peter43 • Aug 20, 2019

When I looked at my records, I noted that I had only scaled Aran Fawddwy twice before, and the last time was over fifteen years ago. When JdF proposed a hike in the high Welsh hills, I suggested a round of the two 'Welsh Corbetts' on the Aran massif. This was much to his liking, so a day was set. It proved to be a good one weather-wise, the last day of the second mini-heatwave that Wales experienced in 2018. We met up in Bala, and left his car in Llanuwchllyn at the southern end of Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake). I drove us up the narrow mountain road that leads to Bwlch y Groes, the most challenging mountain road pass in Wales, and steeply down into the upper Dyfi valley. Near Dinas Mawddwy, a lane heads north up into Cwm Cywarch, one of the most dramatic mountain valleys in Wales. It is little known, and a sure bet for a busy bank holiday Monday when the 'honeypot hills' are teeming with people. We parked in the car park provided near the road-end. Our hopes of mountain pea..." — marktrengove2 • May 7, 2018
