Looking at a route in the Berwyns which takes in the Wayfarer.
There are two bridleways marked on the map from Cadwst and Llandrillo which head to a pass between Cadair Berwyns and Cadair Bronwen.
Does anybody know what these trails are like on the ground please?
looked at them a couple of times in the past.
dont think there is much of a path on the ground. tussock grass for a long way north and south from the top of the wayfarer.
Ok - thanks, suspected they may not be worth it as otherwise it would seem obvious to include them in the Loops that are printed, albeit adding in a chunk of climbing
The one from Cadwst has a massive unrideable bog.......actually the one from Lllandrillo has one too.And the decent from Bwlch Maen Gwynedd is a steep unridable grassy bank.
Basically do it the other way round....out along the Wayfarers (your choice of steep road or steep off road start) to Lllanarnmon DC then back over the Bwlch.It is a bit hike'a bike but the downhill to Llandrillo goes on forever and is a bit ace.
I've ridden it maybe a dozen times and is bloody ace and bloody hard work ss.
(You can cheekily walk up the ridge to the Bwlch from the highpoint of the Wayfarers but it's 1.Cheating 2.Cheeky 3.A bloody long push 4.Missing a pub stop at Lllanarmon DC)
