The trail in the videos is the Claerwen Reservoir green lane. Best I can explain it is - find the Claerwen Dam on Google maps and navigate your way to the top. You can ride on top of the Dam. (The route to the top of the Dam is signposted as a dead end, it isnt). From the top of the Dam, look at the reservoir itself and it's the trail that goes along the right hand side of the reservoir. You can't really go wrong from the top of the Dam. The trail itself is straight forward with no junctions to take wrong turns on, (except the odd farm track, but they are obvious). We followed it all the way to the village of Ffair Rhos. You can zoom in on the trail on google maps, it's quite obvious. If you want the mind blowing road route we took from there onwards, let me know. - Disclaimer - it will only be mind blowing if you have clear weather as it's all about the views/scenery.
@Mid life crisis ADV rider obviously I sant the next road too, great description. Looks for easy off roofing stuff for my ATAS 250kg rhino lol. Did a fair bit around Norfolk and Thetford forest but kept having dramas in the deep sand and it put me off a bit. Love a hard pack path or gravel Road though. So any suggestions in North or Mid Wales would be greatly appreciated
@John Hurst Not done much off road in Wales yet. I'm in Oxfordshire so quite a way to travel. The road route is as follows. After the Claerwen Reservoir green lane ends, follow the single track tarmac road to the village of Ffair Rhos. Turn left on to the B4343 and follow until you reach Tregaron. From there, use Google maps to navigate towards Abergwesyn via the remote phone/post box and the Devils Staircase and that will be the stunning valley road. This road takes you past both the start and end points of the famous Strata Florida which we are planning to do in the summer.
@Mid life crisis ADV rider let me know when your doing it I can bring the drone too ;) I was down Barmouth and all the rosds around there on the bank holiday weekend, I wanted to ride over Barmouth bridge (not sure if you have heard or seen that) but with big bike and lots of tourists we unfortunately thought better of it. But definitely worth checking out and thanks for the information
Can you expand on your comment. What exactly is letting it down? I'm new to this filming lark but keen to learn. Camera is an Osmo Action 3 which is meant to be equivalent to the gopro 11. Was filmed in 4k.
cool stuff
good job boys
Cheers mate. We had a blast.
I've just checked out some of your videos. I have a Peak District video on this channel including some of the same lanes that you have done.
IBS on an adv day out is no joke.
The bridge at 6:20 is private and using it risks getting bikes banned from that lane. There is a gate and a ford that is where you should cross
What is this route called or do you have a map recording i can see looks absolutely brilliant
