It should end up something like this taking in 4 or 5 National Parks or AONB … with excursions off piste for interesting things (Note the M’ways will be avoided wherever possible - I be on a Breva 1100 -not a Hardly Barge )
Not been for a few years but the campsite at Dinas Mawddyy always used to be a nice spot to camp- very quiet village and you can camp on a remote terrace away from the site if you want to have a beer and a chat after you get back from the local pub (Llew Coch) which also did excellent food. There is a cafe about 2 mins ride down the road if you want a fry up in the morning. Excellent biking roads too- in fact you can get to Dinas Mawddyy from Bala way by going over the Bwlch-Y-Groes pass.
The Cat & Fiddle, Horseshoe Pass and Devils Staircase from Llanwrtyd Wells are all in there 'cos I’ve never ridden them
I could easily switch from Barmouth to Dinas Mawddyy for the 3rd nights sleep Guy so I’ll check that out EDIT - that looks a better option to where I was going plus will allow me time for some more interesting roads on the last day before the blast for home - good call
Cheers Kate I’ll give you a shout if that becomes an option
