Gloyw Lyn from a gully to its SSE Footpaths from all sides of Gloyw Lyn seem to stop at its shores, with no connecting routes. Hence we had ascended the hill from the eastern shore, without finding the "proper" path. Since, apart from the Roman Steps route, all the paths marked on the map in this area seem to be exceptionally vague and rough, simply choosing a line of fairly minimal resistance is as good an option as any. We did later join the path, but still found it very hard to discern on the ground, and of no real benefit.
