Craig Rhiwarth Descent

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

A cracking descent which runs right into the village of Llangynog. It's a good track, with plenty of switchbacks, eventually passing through a beech wood and into the village.

Nant Llwyn-Gwern Waterfall and Valley

Highlight (Segment) • Waterfall

A hard climb this is, for sure - but it's all on good bridleways, and a better way of gaining height than winching up the road that runs parallel. Plus the views are astonishing!

December 3, 2024,Berwyn Mountains Loop

One of the hardest rides Ive done so far, not so much the distance but the amount of water was unreal, soggy wet grass climbs, riding through bogs and getting covered in shite a ringing wet through. But still enjoyed it and will probably go back in the summer
