Just a short walk up the wind farm track to visit this trigpoint, which was a more scenic spot than I expected. Trig in good order.

Drove up from Llangyfelach Roundabout on the M4, Parked at the entrance to “T3” Wind turbine and took a short walk up to and just beyond the turbine to find the pillar, although it is a bit on the scruffy side it is in good condition with spider, plug and flush bracket all in place also, good views all round and as with "daidragon" saw plenty of Red Kite activity.

Drove over from Llangyfelach as  there were road works in Tycroes and I wanted to do some shopping in Ammanford  before work parked by the track to the windmill luckily I had my boots  as it was a bit wet by the trig . The trig looks a bit sorry for itself could do with some paint but it seems to be in good condition and there were red kites flying around overhead.

7/7. Final of the day. Parked at entrance to wind turbine and short walk over to trig which sits just behind. Excellent views along to the Black Mountains. Pillar in good condition. Spider, plug and FB intact. Pity plug is painted as one of the embossed ones.

Drove track to West and parked on grass near Trig. Two females arrived and we were harassed as she said the track was private After saying there were no signs saying private she lost it big time and started filming us with her phone I said we would move as soon as I had put my boot on but nothing I said would stop her abuse We drove off when boot was in place followed by her vehicle We drove to wind farm entrance and walked from there Be aware of mad woman !!!

Bagged before heading S for the hill summit just below Penlle'r Castell. Cloud down on the hill, could hear wind turbines (not marked on my 1:25k), but not see until v. close - surreal! Rough moorland pasture. Pillar has dirty white paint job, flaking to reveal previous dirty white paint job. It's also leaning and has small exposed (sub-standard?) base. Original cap, raised lettering; rear sight hole only open. Absolutely no views.

Its just had a new coat of white paint. I drove up the track to the mast and scampered across the moor. It was a miserable afternoon up here today with low cloud and no views.

Located on rather flat boggy hill top. I appraoched from south having walked from the trig point on Graig Fawr. This route from the road was rather boggy however the easiest appraoch is just off the track to the NW.

Easily accessible, not far from the mast and viewpoint. It's in good condition, but has a bad paint job! White paint has dripped over the Flush Bracket.
