If you’re unlucky you’ll meet a car or horse. A superb fast descent - get that suspension on!

It's pretty rocky, good stream running down it the day I went (wet!)

This is a nice descent down a Byway, expect it to be an easy Red that can be rolled all the way, or you can keep it pinned for the more speed-focused of us out there. The only downside is, that once you are at the bottom, you have to make your way back up through Cilcain to pick up the old drovers track up to the top of the Clwyds above Cilcain Lake.
