southerly Route

This year, for the first time, we are able to offer a southerly route which was explored by FreeRein Staff during last autumn (pic above right). This starts by following the Wye Valley up to Builth Wells then along the northern edge of Mynydd Eppynt before heading north into the Cwmdaudeur Hills - the vast wilderness forming the catchment area for the Elan Dams which keep Birmingham in water. On the fifth day the northerly and southerly routes join and riders stay the night at the Lion in Talybont. From here it is a leisurely ride to the coast at Borth then - if the tides are right - a 3 mile ride along the sands to Ynyslas to meet the equibus for the return journey to FreeRein HQ.
