Dirt Segment
From Lower Gate St, Conwy Principal Area to Trawler Rd, Swansea, Wales
"This route travels from the north of Wales to the south via Cardigan Bay. It has been developed by Paul Rogers, and incorporates some of the classic Sarn Helen route, but with adaptations for accommodation needs and avoiding footpaths. The route starts in Conwy, and progresses down to Swansea via Aberystwyth largely off-road. It travels through both Snowdonia and the Brecon Beacons so a good degree of fitness and ability is required: the route is not all “land-rover” track, and there are many technical sections. The most technical section is Brecon to Swansea, virtually all off road, most on marked sections of Sarn Helen, and quite knarly in places. Much of this can be bypassed though using the road from Ystradfellte to Glyn Neath and then the canal to Neath and onto Swansea. ..... There are other versions of Welsh north/south routes, and to see an alternative visit Mountain Bikes Routes UK who have a book for sale by Tim Woodcock. This route is more off-road and has some very technical sections." - Total Terrain (http://www.totalterrain.eu//uk/routes.php?r=86&)
