Pt. 395.9m (SJ 215 543) |
Prior to visiting this hill I had a number of things to do in Oswestry and therefore my usual early morning start was delayed somewhat. I drove north as morning cloud started to break and with a settled forecast for afternoon sunshine and light winds it was ideal for visiting hills and surveying.
Driving through the small community of Rhydtalog, I then connected with the minor road heading westward to the north of this hill and parked close to a gate that gave access across two fields toward the heather moor.
The summit cone of the hill rose heathered in the near distance, a dark silhouette when I approached toward the lake as late morning sun flickered behind cloud. A second gate gave access to the good vehicle track, come path that circles the waters of Llyn Cyfynwy.

During the walk a continuous tata-tat-tat was emanating from the shooting range to the south of this hill. The shooting range is adjoined to a 385m map heighted hill which I wanted to visit afterward and which is situated just to the south of the A5104 road which makes its way between these two hills.
Approaching the summit |
The high point of my first hill of the day was easy to identify and consists of an embedded rock near the base of the trig pillar. I secured the Trimble in place with the aid of its bag which I placed under one side of it, by doing so its internal antenna was aligned to the highest part of the summit rock and it was now neatly sitting in place, instead of at an angle.
