Anyone taken a bike up it, especially from the north? Just wonder how much pushing there is or how rough the pushing/carrying is. GCN did a rather gimmicky video about the approach from the south but that might be my anticipated way off.
Will be a lot of pushing, nice view from the top but not bike friendly
Up on the Cambrian Mountains?
Mostly known for its peat bog and lack of clear routes. I tend to avoid going up there for work and instead show people how to use the kit to rescue sunk quads. I'm not carrying the kit that far without a quad 😆
Drygarn Fawr has a mohoosive cairn on top, the result of a great many days work when labour was cheap I suppose. I like it up there and I've done it a few times. It is wholly 'possible' from Abergwesyn but hard going and tussocky. Boggy too although if you are quick the dry conditions at the moment will make the going a lot easier. Better is to ride up from the old Trallwm MTB trails and then head west after Carnau. The Nant Paradwys/ Rhiwnant track is very much best ridden downhill.
Ta. Heading off over the Staircase then looping round to the Teifi pools afterwards .

Ridden!?! The last time I was up there I was walking down it solo in December and nearly turned an ankle in the snow about 100m after the fence! Thought I'd be a gonna!
Has anyone ridden that??
Dragarn Fawr is a great day out, I swear I could see them from the top of Pen-Y-Fan on a clear night a few summers back - I'd rather walk it than ride it though

How did it go?
