[#6371086]

Off to North Wales at the weekend for a week. Taking the bikes. I'll be doing Antur and probably CYB.

Taking Zoe's bike too, but she's not up for anything remotely fast or technical.

Any suggestions for 'scenic' trails or routes in North Wales (we will be based in Harlech but don't mind driving out elsewhere to ride) we could pootle round together. Distance not an issue but need to be relatively flat (she doesn't mind the odd hill though) and with minimal technical features.

Cheers in advance.

Lon Las Ogwen is very pleasant. And you can "pay a visit" to the [url= http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1447009 ]10-seater loo[/url] at Porth Penrhyn ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

Minotaur trail at CYB fits the bill. Not technical at all, couple of short hills, fun.

Mawddach is a good suggestion.

Make sure you don't end up down the hill from Harlech needing to get back up. Your life won't be worth living. ๐Ÿ™‚

You could do a ride from Coed-y-Brenin down to Dolgellau, then along to Barmouth

How about around the Clwyds, starting at Cilcain and looping around moel Arthur. Nice and easy and some cracking views.

BeddgelertForest would be good. There's a waymarked, non-techie (fireroad) trail and a superb well-surfaced Bridleway linking Rhyd Ddu and Beddgelert. The forest is lovely and gives great views of the Nantlle Hills and Snowdon.
