Sunday 13th September expedition to Nant Y Moch, Mid Wales


Nant Y Moch 1st Byway from dam

Abandoned house off a Byway

Deep in the Valley

This is probably our most favorite place to come and explore it is near Nant Y Moch, Mid Wales.
There are literally dozens of trails to follow over the most beautiful background. You'd swear you were in another country... oh wait you are. 
This is Wales.

Here is a little taster video of whats in store at Nant Y Moch.

You can drive and park very near where the Byways start and explore on Cycle or Foot, which most people do.
The trails are not that bad only a tractor can make it but there are sections that require extra attention.
A regular car wouldn't be a good idea unless you totally don't care about getting stuck and pulled out.

To give you an idea:
Captain Badgers X8 Qaud 'Sparta' was never put into 4x4 mode or even the suspension softened from the 100 mile ride there.
Muddy Puddles XT660z Tenere only had Dual sports tyres on 70% road, 30% off-road and at no point did the bike get stuck (except in a 2ft deep ford, rider error)


Monster Byway north access point (off Machynlleth mountain road to Dylife)

This monster byway heads south to Nant Y Moch. This will be a future expedition and will require all day to complete.
aka. National Cycle Route 8
