Climbing Pumlumon from the north
Climbing Pumlumon, the highest mountain in mid Wales, is easy from the south as there are several footpaths from the A44 – from the north side there are no footpaths on the map but it is perfectly possible.
We went up there very late in the afternoon, mid week, after work – amazing views into north Wales, south Wales and into England.
To get there, follow the road all the way around the Nant-y-Moch Reservoir and then take the path way shown in the centre of this map and then follow the stream and then go towards the top – you will have to make your own path as there are only sheep tracks here but it is not very hard going or steep until the last few hundred meters – you ought to be able to do it in an hour or two from the road to the top and back to the road.
