Craig y Garreg Lwyd (SH 730 427) - Pedwar reclassified to 400m Sub-Pedwar
THIS HILL HAS SUBSEQUENTLY BEEN RE-INSTATED TO PEDWAR STATUS
The following details have been superseded by a survey conducted by John Barnard and Graham Jackson using a Leica GS15 with the result that this hill has been re-instated back to Pedwar status with 30.2m of drop.
Below is the Hill Reclassifications post prior to the Leica GS15 survey:
There has been another reclassification of a Pedwar to a 400m Sub-Pedwar through a survey with the Trimble GeoXH 6000, the second within three days of surveying. The hill was listed as a Pedwar as it has a 478m spot height at the summit and a 443m spot height at the bwlch on the Ordnance Survey enlarged map hosted on the Geograph website, with these values giving the hill 35m of drop. This hill was also surveyed by Myrddyn Phillips using a basic levelling method on the 6th January 2004 which resulted in a drop of 99ft (30.2m).

The hill is situated in the land between the high Moelwynion
and the wild surrounds of Y Migneint with its Cardinal Hill being Graig Goch,
and is positioned to the north of the B 4391 as it makes its way eastward from
Llan Ffestiniog to the A 4212 and Llyn Celyn with Y Bala beyond.
The name of the hill is Craig y Garreg Lwyd and it can be
accessed from a track either to its south-west, south or south-east. However, the hills surrounding Craig y
Garreg Lwyd are well worth visiting and so combining it with its near
neighbours is worthwhile.
This now brings the overall total for the Y Pedwarau to 446 hills
with five additions, and six reclassifications to 400m Sub-Pedwar status since publication
of the list by Europeaklist in May 2013.
The hill will be taken out of the main list and added to the 400m Sub-Pedwar
list in forthcoming publications. The
list of Pedwar hills is available from the Haroldstreet website.
