Bwlch 3 ways - Wednesday 29th August
« Reply #4 on: August 15, 2018, 02:13:31 PM »
I keep eyeing this as a route to have a go at. I don't really want to try it on my own I'd like a little company. I'm off next week so is there anyone who would like to give it a go with me? I know Jo was interested in having another crack at it.

I was planning on Wednesday next week. The route I was considering was over Llangeinor, Bwlch from Nant-y-moel down to Treorchy (coffee stop here) back up and down Afan Valley. Up again and down Nant-y-moel side, over Llangeinor and home again. It's 68 miles in total.
