There then follows a moderate climb bearing left up into the forestry passing a number of marked cycle routes running down through the forestry. Eventually the forestry track levels out, and you keep heading left. Looking behind you whilst on the flat of the mountain, if the weather allows you will see the Pen y Fan peaks in the Brecon Beacons on the horizon. Follow the path down bearing left down to the radio mast, noting that the path becomes fairly steep and broken underfoot due to rainwater errosion. Follow the concrete access road down, then into the tarmac lane past the church back to the community centre at Castle Street. Enjoy lovely views over Glyncorrwg whilst descending:-)
