Apart from buying a number of maps which to be honest you'll need anyway, your best bet would be to get a copy of the Sarn Helen route guide www.mbruk.co.uk by Tim Woodcock

It's 270 miles, some of which is pretty hard going, 4 days will be quite a ride. The guide suggests 8 days ranging from 4.5 - 7 hours, so expect some big days if you're looking to half it.

Good luck

Stuart

thanks Stuart
around 68 miles per day ...... hhhmmmmm. I suppose it depends on the terrain. We've done a few marathons, one being 85 miles off road but these will be back to back. Still, great challenge though!!
thanks again for the info Stuart.
