Overview

The route is mainly through forestry tracks so suitable for the winter. We pass a reservoir and some beautiful viewpoints along the way. The route takes us to the Bryn near Maesteg after crossing a road to further forestry and historic former industry.  It then follows a cycle way/footpath back to the start
