Well here is a route that lives up to its name. Taking you from the picturesque lake at the sheltered Bod Petryal picnic site right up to the exposed moorland that surrounds Llyn Brenig .With almost 1500m of climbing to endure, you’ll really appreciate the tremendous singletrack descents towards the end of this ride; they really do make all the effort worth while.
This great route takes you from the village of Llanfihangel GM on a tour through Clocaenog Forest up to the Alwen Resevoir. There you will cross the dam and continue on to the larger Llyn Brenig, via forest roads. On the route back take a moment to climb up Craig Bron Banog for breath taking views of Snowdonia and the Clwydian Range.
