Penllyn Forest (Bala loop)

Included in this Blog rather then Corwenlanes.blogspot.com because its just in the National Park . Nice non damaging lane popular with commercial groups because to its length and ease. Takes about 1 hour, but since either way is possible as most groups turn round and go back. Being hard core, but not that rocky, a good lane for all seasons, since not effected by any bogs, even after heavy rain there is little water on the top. North Start point at SH952313, its up a forest track, however most prefer to join it at the top at SH946274 the first 100 yards is about the worse. Excellent views of both Snowdon and mid Wales. If going anti-clockwise ie. from the top about 800 yards into the forest take the left fork.

Note told might not be legal right of way, so check.

There was a gate put in at the bottom, last time there June 07 there was a lock on it, so looks like another lane lost. At the top still open and groups are using it to the forest and turning round, since the views are excellent, so a warning on this.
