Conquering Hero

Disco on the hero

Another one of those steep over top "pass" lanes we come to expect in Wales, long steep climb hugging the side of a Mountain. South point starts @SJ 178 455 at the end of a UCR leading from Rhewel SJ183 449, (on the edge of two maps, here you might need OS116). North point @SJ155 472 (its a gate which leads into a "fenced lane" off a UCR off A5104). Great views and a brilliant drop, some mud on the top but do'nt leave the lane as the "Hobby Bobbies" are active here proscuting illegal off roaders doing the "Three peaks" from the Horseshoe Pass. Note the sarces on the hillside can be seen from miles away. Watch out for the "White boulders" @ SJ163 468, the farmers placed them to make sure you stick to the RoW, as the lane goes through the gate at right angles. A great lane to start or finsh with, as it brings you out on the A5104 closer to Deeside. Suitable either way and none damaging except light scratches.
