Steve the gap has been tamed mate, there's nothing now that will catch u out. It used to be great but now its just mediocre. There are way better descents in the brecons now. It got scrapped and sanitised a few yrs back.

Re: Monks Trod byway above Elan

More like through it! Saying this i once rode the whole lot with hux years ago and it was super dry!! The last time I rode across/through it was with mr Barrington on the fat bikes and we managed to ride it all then but those tractor tires helped stay above the bog :wink: good luck its a nice route.
