    Nice link between Dolwyddelan & Capel Curig across the shoulder of Moel Siabod. Heading North gives a fun rocky descent on the mtb. Heading South might mean a short hike a bike up the rocky climb.

      Overused by 4x4's and trail bikes, real shame as it is a lovely ride.

        Fantastic views to the larger mountains. Exposed in bad weather. On a gravel bike, potentially better going North to South so you hike a bike up the steep uphill and bike the nicer bits, rather than hike a biking down the steep bit just above Capel Curig!
