Sarn Helen Trail or better option?

[flanagaj]

Hi All,

I wanted to gauge opinion as to whether anyone here has a better option to the Sarn Helen trail ride that I was planning on doing (http://mbruk.co.uk/mbruk_SarnHelenTrail_details.htm)

I have read on a number of forums that the Sarn Helen ride is plagued with sections that have been destroyed by those pesky off road vehicles. I have read a forum post on here of some chaps who seemed to ride an alternative route.

So if anyone does have a better option, I would be most grateful if you could post me the gpx.
Planning on doing the route sometime in June (weather permitting) and taking 4 days / maybe 5 if anyone else potentially fancies joining me?

Thanks

Justin

I'd suggest getting a copy of Ians N to S route ... some of the 'Sarn Helen' route is very difficult to navigate.

Some of it is great. Some of it is dross. Nav can be...entertaining on one section I know of.

It's worth a punt though, some quite nice bits that I recall.

Can you tell me where I can get a copy?

Thanks

Search for member 'Ian' and send him a message, I'm sure he'll oblige.

Yup, send me PM with your email and I'll sort it out.

If you want a recent <12 months GPS of the Sarn Helen, pop me a message.

Hello, when were you thinking of doing this, I also have just been in touch with Ian about this and he also kindly said he'd be intouch with some details. I was planning 1st week/days of August.
