Image of Craig-y-Dullfan (Pumlumon) (Cairn(s)) by GLADMAN

The monument is centre right(ish) of image. Banc Llechwedd-mawr rises above – this being Pumlumon – inevitably crowned by cairns of its own.

An aerial view of the monument seen from Drosgol, itself graced by a pair of cairns, naturally. Banc Lluest Newydd and Carn Hyddgen (right to left) rise beyond left background, both, of course, featuring cairns. So much more going on, too.

A retrospective ascending Banc Llechwedd-mawr 20/7/2020... the ascent route for Pen Pumlumon Fawr can be seen following the cascading Maesnant stream, upper left, Y Garn beyond to the far right. Note the car parking spots: this is where Citizens Cairn’d wishing to explore Pumlumon should make their way.

Drosgol rises beyond (as with more-or-less every hill in the locale of Pumlumon, bearing cairns). Note that, unbeknown to me before this visit, two new footbridges have recently been erected at SN779891 and SN766888. No need for soaking feet!!!

Looking north-east(ish)... Banc Lluestnewydd rises above the monument, with the wondrous Carn Hyddgen to its left.

Looking across the monument (and into the sun – inhibits photography but hey, take it when you can I say) towards Pen Pumlumon Fawr (top right) and Pen Pumlumon Arwystli, both summit bearing a trio of cairns.

OK, the outlook from the cairn may have changed dramatically since erected by the pioneering locals millennia before; however, I reckon there is a haunting, ethereal presence to the Nant-y-Moch reservoir.

Bathed in golden light... the substantial footprint bears the standard marker cairn. Banc LLechwedd-mawr rises above; the lure subsequently prove too great to resist.
