    Cycling

    I had planned to descend into Hirwaun using the 'Fast and loose descent to Hirwaun' highlight but the gate at the top was locked with a sign forbidding cyclists and walkers from entering, so I ended up re-reouting along NCN 47 and coming down the road descent of the Maerdy. This was in May 2021 so things may well change as work is completed. Note that the two photos I took aren't of quite the same place - there was a similar sign by the locked gate but I missed it out of my photo!
