Roman roads go over the hills, not around them. \n\nIt's a self-reliant day. Remote upland, patchy signal, minimal feed and no support van. \n\nOctober in the Welsh uplands is often wet, cold and windy, and wet loose gravel gets greasy.
The route
The route follows historic Roman-road straights over the hills and links them through forest fire roads and rough upland tracks, so the signature is short, steep, loose pitches stacked through the day rather than one big climb. The long route is the full day out, the short route trims the distance and some of the punchiest climbs.
Early-October, Wales (mid/upland)
Highs around 14°C and lows around 7°C, but it has dropped to 0°C. Rain on 50% of days. Pack for the cold end, not the average.
