Does any one have a suggestion for a descent from Llyn Cowlyd down to the Conwy valley. This makes part of one of my Favorite rides (Trefriw - Crafnant - Capel Curig - colwyd - trefriw) but it always ends in a huge tarmac descent.
Any ideas on a grand finale?!
Buy/look at a newer OS 1:25,000 explorer map and a permissive path has appeared ont the track under/alongside that huge pipeline.
Hmm, didn't realise how bigger drop it is on tarmac (430m and down .. )
I'v eonly ever done it from capel curig so the tarmac hasn't bothered me quite so much
Maybe trying finding something [url= http://www.streetmap.co.uk/idld.srf?x=277462&y=363922&z=115&sv=277462,363922&st=4&ar=y&mapp=idld.srf&searchp=ids.srf&dn=571&ax=277462&ay=363922&lm=0 ]here?[/url] 1:50k has that wood as Forestry Comission so maybe less of issue?
I've never quite liked the boggy/moorland climb from capel curig upto the resevior all that much as per the guidebooks [url= http://www.streetmap.co.uk/idld.srf?x=270299&y=361106&z=115&sv=270299,361106&st=4&ar=y&mapp=idld.srf&searchp=ids.srf&dn=571&ax=270299&ay=361106&lm=0 ]so[/url]
There is a one down from the bottom corner of Llyn Geirionydd but it is a footpath and might be a bit difficult to blend in to your ride .
I tried following the footpath from lledwigan over to colwyd.It starts out as doubletrack but turned into a boggy moorland hike a bike from hell.
