Hi there, Nice pics Grwyne Fawr, I was up there last week, cracking side roads up the forest.
Have you had a go at the ones around talybont on usk/ponsticill? There is an old tramroad up there as well. I have an old funduro but it does the job- if you fancy having a look about on the lanes, let me know.
Cheers

Wow that looks scary! I guess its all forestry owned but i usually go on a weekday and its quiet so nobody seems to mid

I havent ventured off the gravel roads as my old funduro struggles

Is their any other local routes you recommend?

Cheers
