Just a few pics from a quiet Sunday ride in the Welsh countryside around the town of Rhayader.

NICE! I'm heading off that way next month for a weekend camping and riding all around the Rhayader and Llyn Brianne area.

Is it possible to have the OS grid ref. for the Strata Florida trail and Maen Serth,

cheers

I believe the Strata Florida / Monk's Trod has a TRO along part of the route. Can someone say definitively?

Strata Florida does not have a TRO. Monk's Trod does have a TRO that expires at the end of May.

The trail up to Maen Serth starts at SN961685 (N52.305, W3.525), summits at SN943697 (N52.316, W3.551), and ends at SN921706 (N52.323, W3.584).

Strata Florida trail starts at SN755645 (N52.265, W3.824) and ends at SN804569 (N52.197, W3.750).

Link the two trails via Claerwen Resevoir starting at SN871636 (N52.259, W3.655) and ending at SN794679 (N52.296, W3.769).

I believe these trails to be byways and not currently under any restriction, but that's not a guarantee that you've got legal vehicular access. If you've got any doubt, check with the local authority first before riding. Have fun!
