Parked at the entrance to the old Cefn Park Motocross site and walked back down the lane and turned left on to the PROW continued to the radio mast and entered the field via the gate, crossed the first field and entered the second via another gate, followed the hedge line to the trig, this was a good time of year to visit as the Hawthorne hedge is bare giving a clear view of the trig, FB is in situ and located on the North face of the pillar, the spider and original plug are still in place, after climbing another gate to inspect the South face it was noticed that there is a crack on this face extending to the West face, generally the trig is in good condition with great views all around.

Quick drive up lane and parked at a pull in passed the footpath. Walked back down and left for about 10 minutes until we reached the masts, where workers were carrying out some maintenance. Crossed fence next to mast and walked 1 and a half fields to trig which is sandwiched between two barbwire fences and becoming consumed by blackthorn bushes. Super views! Trig has a crack on sides not sure about back but Flush Bracket, Spider and plug/cap in place.

Followed Gower Lad's route to the letter for a nice walk. Diverted on the way back down to take in some geocaching to make a great day out.

From CP at Parc Slip nature centre (to SE). Up daffodil clad lane to Cwmrisca farm, then FP through fields (diverted but well marked) to junction with Ogwr/Glamorgan ridgeway path, where FP signage left something to be desired. Follow ridgeway to NW diverting to mast. Along field edge from mast. Pillar in hedge, fenced either side but pillar (and FB) close to N side. Original cap. Impressive views, truly surf to turf, with sweeping vista of all the hills surrounding Maesdeg and the Llynfi valley. Line of sight to many pillar in all directions.

Lovely walk up from Coytrahen following ROW. Joins the Ogwr Ridgeway for a bit. Through some sheep fields by the mast with open gates. Located in between two fences. Flush bracket just happened to be on furthest side so didn't get it. Nice views to coast. Picked some blackberries on the way back down.

A decent walk from the lay-by on the papermills road. Trig point in very good condition, fenced on both sides seems well protected

Parked on minor road to W; RoW initially then across a sheep pasture. Pillar sits on a lowish field bank between b/w stock fencing. It retains its original top cap, indented lettering; rear sight hole open. Has a horizontal fracture on 3 sides at mid-FB level that does not extend to the front face. Good panoramic views.
