Whats the best way of linking Waun Fach and Black Mountain?

Quoted message said:

A rough idea is to park somewhere around Capel y Ffin @ SO 250 328?

Waun Fach is linked to Black Mountain* (via a SWEAT) by an 1800' col so
if you are just interested in bagging the 2 peaks start off with a
height advantage by parking at Gospel Pass, SO 235 352.

*This Black Mountain oesn't appear to be named on OS maps and should not
be confused with 'The Black Mountain', Mynydd Ddu, which certainly is.

Nearest Marilyn still to be visited - Great Orme.
89 miles as the crow flies,
considerably more as the walker drives.

Are you being specific when you say Black Mountain (singular) or should
that be Black Mountains (plural) ?

Hi Roger

Doesn't that mean both 'bags' are out and backs, whereas the other
idea is more of a circuit? You're right about the ascent though,
definitely reduced!

Cheers David.

OK David I now know where you're talking about. The grid ref is on
Offa's Dyke not on the Black Mountain (Mynydd Du) which is in the
Western Fans.
