Hi wondering if anybody has combined the 3 trail centers in one route I have done Marin and Penchmachno but want to combine all 3.
If you have has anybody got a route? I seen the gmbn video but there route was on the road between them.
Cheers
Should be possible to ride a fair chunk of the transition between them on the old Sarn Helen. Grab a map and see. There is certainly also a way over the top of the quarries above Bleanau F that would be a great route from Penmacho to ByC

Seems to mostly avoid road.
Big day out!
Why not combining Marin,Penmachno and the loop around Cowlyd reservoir (back of Marin trail) - I usually get bored of the trail center tracks and the natural stuff is refreshing.
loop around Cowlyd reservoir
I really dont like the Cowlyd loop. Very over hyped. Much better natural options out there.
Its a long way out to coed y brenin but will be a good adventure. Could always split it up and use the bothy at cyb for an overnight stop
Very do-able. A couple of years ago I did a longer trip, linking up all the Welsh trail centres bikepacking style, and the CyB-Antur-Penmachno-Marin leg was easy to put together with the maps out on a table.
Donny from GMBN did this root last year.
Much better natural options out there.
I really like to know that! the singletrack along the reservoir is pretty cool and the descent back to Capel Curig very nice as well.
