The Devil's Staircase & Llyn Brianne Reservoir in Welsh Cambrian mountains

A ride through the so called "Devil's Staircase" in the picturesque Welsh Cambrian mountains and then on to Llyn Brianne reservoir. A fantastic ride on a sunny day in a very remote and beautiful area of Wales.

I enjoyed that John and your company there. I've had the pleasure of all them roads a number of times. There's no being tired of the Cambrians - it's simply gnarly, wild and beautiful and as you say a great escape. Fantastic footage. All the best. Mark

Try it the proper way round, from Tregaron to Abergwesyn,.... at night, at speed, in a car. Elan Valley from Rhyader to Cwmystwyth past Elan village and the dams/lakes road or from Rhyader following the B-road over the old mountain route is OK. Another one to try would be Hafren forest, from Llanidloes past Old Hall and Geufron then looping back towards Llanidloes past the Clywedog Reservoir and dam. And yet another would be Ponterwyd to Talybont past Nant-y-Moch Reservoir which sees you riding across the dam. Have fun!

Thanks for your input. I have tried Tregaron to Abergwesyn but road was closed that time. I've done the mountain road from Rhyader many times, but the Nant-Y-Moch Reservoir is new to me and your route looks just my sort of ride..Cheers

Shit - I have ridden the ELan Valley and been to the chip shop in Rhayader many times, and never knew I was so close to these great roads. Thanks for sharing - I'll give your route a try next time.

Thanks for watching..this one really is worth a ride, but try and pick a sunny day to enjoy it. It never gets a lot of traffic, which is just as well as the road is single track. We did it in May out of holiday season.
