Publishers description
Twenty-six excellent routes covering a great variety of terrain; circling some of North Wales most beautiful lakes and reservoirs, criss-crossing its wide stretches of forest and mastering heights to glorious views. The routes are accompanied by informative sketch maps and illustrated by black and white photographs and entertaining cartoons. The author focused on the less populated areas of North Wales, aiming to lessen the impact on over-used sites. And while adhering to the voluntary cycling ban on Snowdon, the guide shows us how to enjoy this great mountain. Ranging from 10 to 60 km in length, some over flat ground, some with murderous hills, there are routes for the family and the super fit.
