Itinerary description

A 19km clockwise loop off Glyndwr’s Way, passing close to the Severn and Wye river sources and Pumlumon Fawr summit.
Add 5km if walking from the roadside parking space north of Glaslyn.
Once you leave the GW track, outbound involves tramping cross-country over heather tussocks. It's less gruelling to follow fence lines and use poles.
Near the Severn source tracks appear.
There is a full description in the book.
