Walked up from the Tonmawr Mountain cycling centre, not the shortest but a lovely 4 mile(each way) trek. The pillar is located just off the windfarm access roads over some spongy ground and between an old stone wall and a fence, the pillar is in good condition with some moss covering, the flush plate and spider are all in place but the centre plug is missing, various previous visitors have scratched their names onto the spider, great views all round.

Walked up from Neath through Gnoll Park and past the Ivy Tower and upwards across the farmland and forest. A good couple of hours trek to just get to the pillar near the wind turbines.

South along the ridge from Moel yr Hyrddod trig having walked up from Glyncorrwg. A lovely bright sunny still day with great views and only some of the wind turbines slowly turning.

1/3 From Dinas Rock CP near Pontneddfechan, caught bus from Glynneath to Resolven. 1. When your waiting for the bus don't assume you know the direction the bus will come from. 2. Don't assume the bus will slow to see if anyone in bus shelter. 3. Don't assume you know the route the bus will take. So, after missing the first bus, set off on route of St Illtyd's Walk, branching off to pillar within wind farm. Gloomy day added to drab views of extensive forestry. plantations

Parked as Julie did by the nice house that was the community centre in Glyncorrwg. Walked up road through "quiet lane" and then onto forest tracks to wind farm. As stated below, "squidgy" walk to and around trig. Would have been nice views to the Beacons if cloud hadn't set in. Then onto Moel yr Hyrddod

Park by the old community centre which is now a beautiful house and walked up towards the campsite and through the forestry. Loads of mountain bikers on our tracks and bagged 2 Trigs today.

Just the 3 of us

how much of a mess can you make between 2 pillars on a clear day with big white posts with orange tops to guide you.

From Glyncorrwg on good forest tracks then a bit of squidge through wind farm to the trig. Pillar has lost its top cap and has no plug; RHS sight hole open; there's a small flake missing from top screed at one corner, otherwise vgc. Hill fog, no views, couldn't even see the wind turbines, could only hear them whomping round.

Parked near church at SS 87437 99359 (51.681105, -3.629804) and went up bridal path to TP4876 - Moel-Yr-Hyrddod (S2046) and then on to this trig. I have seen this peak from many others so I would anticipate a good view from here. Today was throwing it down with rain and visibility of only 50 metres or so made for an eerie experience as the wind turbines loomed out of the clouds.

Walked up from Melin Court Falls carpark. Visited trig during a long circular walk caching. Pillar is dwarfed by its windmill buddys and is in the same condition as previously posted. Mike

vgc, no cap or plug, SW side of derelict wall, rushy pasture, wind farm. Forest developed for mountain biking, well used, many more tracks than mapped. Linked with Moel-Yr-Hyrddod, from Glyncorrwg, a valley I'd not been to before. Nice route, fell shoes, dry throughout.
