Bwlch Sych and Tynygarreg from Lake Vyrnwy

Route Outline

This circuit takes you onto the hills to the north east of Lake Vyrnwy and begins from near the dam across this large reservoir. Circular walks in this area are few and far between and this route does use some paths that see very few walkers and a good sense of direction and the ability to use a map is important. Recently it has been noted that there is a path diversion at Bwlch Sych farm so care is needed here to locate the onward path. There is also forestry work in progress in this area so paths may close at short notice.
