Its a great route assign through areas of industrial heritage and a landscape that has recovered to be stunning over the last 50 years. if you want company when you are riding through Merthyr let me know and if I’m free ill join you
thats a shame, during 2022 i rode up there from pontypridd most weekends, will probably do some different routes and hope they re-open it later in the year
If you are riding from Pontypridd its probably only a minor inconvenience on the ride. It’s more of an issue for those lacking confidence to ride on the road and riding shorter distances.
@@ActivewheelsMerthyr yeah i thought about it after my comment, it looks more annoying than difficult, i just tend to avoid roads if i can help it, not a confidence thing just a dislike thing. can see me heading up that way in a few weeks anyway.
Thanks so much for this - really helpful. We are coming to Wales to Ride NCN 8 next week and very much looking forward to it.

Don't add music to the background! It made it harder to listen to the chat in those weather conditions!
Good point. I also need to do something to reduce the wind noise
