Thought I'd seen a post somewhere recently, about a trail closure in the Clwyds. Can't find any mention of it just now. Any information about this, please? Is it re-open? Or did I imagine the whole thing?
You can just use the inward bound leg of that route thru the forest in reverse instead, which will bring you out lower down by Brithdir and you'll just have a bit more of a climb if you are going up around Ffrith Mountain.
used this route for a sunday ride over the new year period; no forestry plant around so I rode down to the section where the works are taking place - about 50m of the fire road is being used to stack the recently felled trees, and is very difficult to get past - walked around the fire road with the bike on my shoulder but its not really recommended as the ground is very steep and very overgrown with brambles/gorse - cut my legs to pieces.....
