Chris, I did these in May 2005 on a day of sun and heavy rain showers. My notes record I crossed the Afon Hengwm by a bridge near a ruined cottage. The Afon...

We did the same route as Mark in August 2005, when I guess it is drier. No problem at all with river crossings. However, we were going on to Disgwylfa Fawr and...

Gosh! I've done Lunga several times. Not as difficult as it appears as a local boatman does tourist trips. (There is a small floating jetty he uses.) I'm...
