Itinerary description
Mynydd Eppynt 477m
Mynydd Eppynt is a very short Marilyn to do due to its location on an army range and there being an access road (public) that passes nearby to the summit. The reality is due to the army ranges this is the only access! Anyway the red flag was flying, violently so with the wind, but I knew the summit is only a short distance from the road and I would keep a ear open for any incoming munitions of the whistling variety .
The start location is at a large car view area car park (marked on the map) at the start of the gps route. i parked here, put my trail shoes and went forth into the howling wind and rain…for no more than ten minutes. I went straight up the road opposite the car park (SW) for literally 3-400m walked around some type of wired enclosure, used the gps to find the spot height and walked back to the van. Basically it was bucketing down so I couldn’t care less.
Parking and access: Large viewing area car park, no problems.
Route Summary: A vehicle track. The most tedious km I have done in my life! 1km with 30m height gain done in 11 minutes. So exciting!
