While sitting on the tube this lunchtime after a trip to a dull stationery supplier in EC1, I thought I'd like to go and ride The Gap this weekend.

Where exactly is it? Thanks.

Start from Talybont reserviour. Its called the gap because it goes over a gap in the hills.

S to N.

It is possible the other way round, but the climb is harder and a push and the top and the descent is slower and less fun.

Heres a pic from Pen-y-fan looking down toward MT - we didn't see any other MTBers that day in June although the trails were covered in tyre prints.

Best descent is going S to N but coming back up again from the north its a good climb if you like that sort of thing.
