Many moons ago, I did a lot of work at the radio station there.
Go past the cafe, and down a cart track on the right. (going up the hill) There was snow on the ground when I worked there as it was mid winter. It's an erm, interesting drive in a car, .... .. ... |

Know that track well.it will take you to LLangollen,, comes out by the Britiana Inn.If you turn left at the junction at the bottom of the track you refer to it will take you thru forests over a small ford in the river, and up over the moors to Minera Only a track but lots of passing places.

just working on a meeting place at the bottom of the pass and ill let u all know... should have an answer by this evening....... and yes the drive to the top can be said to b e a "proper drive" let the old motors stretch there legs a bit, and plenty of twisty stuff to keep you thinking...
if everyone turns up should be a real good day... |
