Really good fun downhill red section

Nice climb up Pumlumon Fawr from this side.

Lovely mix of fire road to start with and then a huge climb up and over into a valley that time forgot - perfect single track - although can be a bit muddy in places. Probably best to make sure there has not been too much rain in the week before riding this route - and in the winter be prepared for quick changes of weather and plummeting temperatures.

Third highest summit in the Pumlumon range, Pen Pumlumon Llygad-bychan is perhaps most notable for its proximity to the source of the River Wye. To the north of the summit is the lovely pool of Llyn Llygad Rheidiol, while Pumlumon's principal summit is just a short walk along the Cambrian Way to the northeast. While the summit itself is not particularly distinguished and is known to be on the boggy side, it does offer lovely views across the Cambrian Mountains of Mid Wales.

Surrounded by beautiful welsh countryside lies the estate of Llanerchaeron. There's a large selection of second hand books, free parking and a café during summer to enjoy a day out.

Pen Pumlumon Llygad-Bychan (727m, a Hewitt & Nuttall) is the third highest summit on the Plynlimon massif. The summit is boggy and marked by a few stones. The source of the River Wye, is just South of the summit. The picturesque glacial lake of Llyn Llygad Rheidiol lies to the North.

A superb gravel ride. We did it on a mixed weather day as part of a larger 3 day tour and it was stunning in both directions. Well worth the hill climb to get to it if you start in Elan village. A great 2 day shorter trip could be from the reservoir (where there's parking), to the nearby bothy (around 9 miles along), then back the next day.

Fast and flowing running almost along side the red trail back to the lake. Great to add on to the end as its a short climb back to the top for it.
