There are diversions in place, but Granada it back open – you can’t cut is short after this section though like you used to be able to (July). But you can climb up left, and back – eft on yourself back onto the fireroad climb up and down to Windy point – that’s if you wanted to shorten it at that point.
To be honest, I’d just do the full Skyline loop, I enjoy the diversion sections – as they’re akin to the open sections on Nant y Arian (ish).
It’s still a really good ride, with a good amount of ascending.
Just remember to was your bikes off before taking them anywhere else, due to the Photophoria (Larch tree disease) it’s a big reason why there are so many diversions, and why Penhydd has been out of action for longer than planned.
Just make sure you wash them down, so you dont spread the disaease to anywhere else.
