    Tips

    Cycling

    Be aware that the surface of this section is really rather tough terrain, and large sections are unrideable with anything short of a full suspension MTB. I attempted this on a decent gravel bike with large volume, off-road tyres, and had to walk about 50% of this stretch; the sections that I was able to ride were very difficult technically, and was very tough going.

    Hiking

    The Brecon Beacons well known “THE GAP” is a passing between Crybin and Fan y big in the shadow of Pen y fan. Gap Road which will take you through the Neuadd valley.
    The Gap Road- is actually an old main Roman road. The Gap provides the first encounter with what I call engineered paths.

    Hiking

    The Two Gaps or the Long Gap. A Brecon Beacons classic route in the heart of the National Park taking in two mountains passes, Bwlch y Glasgwn (Blue Valley Pass) high above the Talybont Reservoir and the famous Bwlch ar y Fan, better known as the Gap Road. This is a full day out, with big views to match.
