I will keep an eye out for you. I will be the one blowing out of his arse a couple of hundred metres behind the sprightly looking young fella (son) who will usually be waiting for his old Dad

You’re an all day out kind of fella, can you use this route?

If you fancy something shorter I can put something together on Strava.

There is a pub & community shop at both Cilcain & Lllanarmon-yn-Lal, apart from that it’s slim pickings for refreshments apart from Loggerheads.

Can you use this, it’s a slightly abbreviated version of that other one…

There is a MapRun version of the 2020 Clwydian Sheeptracks fell race which is a decent day out, about 20 miles depending on route. There are various other MapRun courses in the Clwyds on that website too

Ooh - that looks good - have downloaded it and put it on OSMaps

The O2O route looks a little too tasty given it took you 8 years of recces to have a crack at the whole thing

Thanks @r0bh

How’s about this…

3395

Yikes that’s a hell of a steep climb

Will give the 34.7km one a go first - will take plenty of liquids as looks like it will be warm and as you say, not a lot of places to stop for a top up

Thanks for these - much appreciated

It’s really not a steep climb, it just goes on a bit. The 2nd route will be easier for you to access from the main roads & starts/finishes at a great pub but might be best to park outside the church.

ETA…there’s also the opportunity to stash drinks at the road crossing 2 or 3 miles further up the road at the unused Clwyd Gate Hotel.

Im glad the routes he’s given you seem to be just as savage as the rides I’ve got

Nice - bit of lunch in the pub at the end - assume not so busy we would have to book on a Saturday lunchtime?

3402

I’ve no idea if you’ll need to book, there’s lots of room inside but I don’t know about their serving hours.

Had to rearrange plans for Saturday run as now have to meet son’s girlfriends Dad and family for first time :roll_eyes:

Will still use that route another weekend though
