Went for a ride to the Elan Valley near Rhyader, Mid Wales this week. Weather wasn't very good but it didn't seem to matter. Saw the route in MS&L this month. The Elan Valley is like a lost world and the 'Elan Trail' (B4518) is about 16 miles long. One of those routes that gets better around every turn. Highly recommended.
Hi,did that trip last Sept on my Super3. Bloody froze in a tent!
When I was younger and even more stupid I walked over that dam when the water was flooding over. I found myself in the wrong side of the valley after a long days walking. It concentrates the mind beautifully when you have a heavy sac on your back and are on your own. Lovely area to visit on foot or bike.
