Turn left along a grassy track that may be muddy in places, and continue through fields. Watch for a marked right turn, flanked by gorse bushes, down through woods to a minor road. Turn right to follow the road across a slope planted with oaks. Pass a junction where there is a telephone kiosk, then turn left at the next junction, before Dyffryn-Dulas. Cross a bridge, around 90m (295ft), then follow the road steeply uphill. It bends left and right, with good views back across the valley and up to Foel Fadian and neighbouring heights.

Go through the farmyard at Cleiriau Isaf, then at a gate immediately afterwards turn sharp right and climb steeply a short way to another gate. Enter a field and keep to the right-hand side, passing above the farm and going through yet another gate. Turn left to follow a track uphill, through more gates, bending left as marked. Go through a gate beside a plantation on the slopes of Cefn Modfedd, over 270m (885ft), then follow the track gently downhill and go through another gate.

Fork left as marked, going up and along a grassy track beside a fence, then downhill. Go through a gate into a forest and continue downhill. Cross a forest track, and the track being followed reaches a gate soon afterwards. Go through it and follow a grassy track, forking right downhill at a junction, among gorse bushes. Walk down through a gate, where there is a building to the left, and continue down among trees and fields through another gate. Cross a ford and walk up to the farmhouse of Talbontdrain, offering B&B, keeping left of it to reach a minor road. Turn right along the road, going up a little, then downhill.

Turn left along a track where there are signs for Llwyngwyn and Cwmydwrgi. Fork left at a track junction just before a white house. The track rises past fields and goes through gates, including a gate into a forest. However, turn right, in effect straight ahead, to follow a grassy path to the edge of the forest, and cross a stile beside a gate. The path climbs across a grassy slope, following an earth embankment and ditch, with fine views of the valleys and the mountains beyond. Reach a marker post and fence beside a clear-felled forest and turn left uphill, passing through a gate at Rhiw Goch, around 360m (1180ft). A path climbs off-route, up through a groove that later features slippery slate, known to horse-riders and mountain-bikers as The Chute.

Looking across the valley above Cwmydwrgi, where Rhiw Goch lies to the right
