August 26, 2023,Wind farm and taking in part of "The Great Glamorgan Way" Final day #4 of Welsh MTB Adventure.

Once the tent was packed we set off from camp to take in some of the local area. Passing wind farms, some loose rocky sections before hitting smooth green grass across part of the Great Glamorgan Way. Followed by a big steep downhill (road) and back to camp to finish our final day.
