OS benchmark - Vyrnwy, Hirddu or Cwm-yr-Hafod bridge An OS cutmark (and an adjacent mason's mark) on the parapet wall of the bridge over the Afon Hirddu. It was originally levelled soon after the construction of the reservoir in the 1890s as it appears on the 1902 map at 849.2ft above Liverpool datum. More recently it was last levelled in 1955, at 258.912m above Ordnance Datum Newlyn.

Hafod Fudr farm buildings Relatively modern, in the sense that the present stone building was erected in 1844, a short distance above the original settlement. The Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust site reveals little of interest about the place, although the name 'hafod' rather suggests it's been a settlement for a long period of time.

Sheeptrack through the bracken One of the less problematic routes up this hillside - a direct assault, whilst shorter, would have involved extensive bracken-bashing.

Broken wall A short stretch of the old fridd wall across the hillside, which is marked on the larger scale maps. Here, it's holding back a bit of a bog, the start of a day with wet feet. Goretex boots are defeated by Welsh wetness.
