R1- halfway forest

 Route- at the far end of the car park take the Fork Right and keep climbing up the Forest road until you get to a T junction. Turn Left downhill to Cwm Glyn, then cross over the river. Take the track immediately on your right up a short steep hill until it joins a major forest road heading to Clwyd Watsh. Go through the gate to the edge of the Firing range and turn left at the crossroads by the red flag. Go straight across and down a steep stony lane to Troed Yr Rhiw, cross the ford up to the tarmac lane and turn Right. Go past Craigwyddon where the tarmac turns into a Forest road. 

Follow the track from Noethgrug to the fileds at the edge of the forest.   Here   you can pick up some lovely single track taking you back down to Castell Craigywyddion and back to the road at Allt Craigyrwyddon. Follow the track down to the road bridge over  Nant Gwenol. Take the forest road back up the hill into Halfway Forest, follow the tarmac road Right until it starts to turn back downhill. Here there is a gate with a Forest track going straight on up to Cef Arthen. Take a Left turn off this over the ridge and drop back down to the car park

Route- park at the start of the forest track near Cwm Pen Llydan. Then climb steadily upwards following the Zig Zags.

At the first fork turn Right and continue upwards to Esgair Dafydd, then work your way through the maze of tracks across the top of the escarpment to Cnapau Hafodllywelyn, .

 Start back by returning to the cattle grid, then retracing your path back uphill until the T junction. This time turn Left and follow the contours around Cwm Henog . There is a FURTHER EXTENSION YOU CAN MAKE AROUND Cefn Trybeddgwilym before rejoining your route to Esgair dafydd, where you can wind your way back down the hill following the tracks above Craig Las. 

From the car park follow the road up to the dam, then cross over the dam and follow the forest roads as they meander around the inlets of the lake.  As you climb up around Dalarwen mountain, take the second turn  on the right which leads down the Camddwr valley to Soar Yr Mynydd Chapel.  Just opposite the chapel is a gate  with a sign saying “road closed” .

  Exit the carpark onto the tarmac road and turn Left heading  back South West for about 2KM. Come to gate on your Right, and take the forest track heading downhill into the Nant Hirgwm valley. At the first cross roads, take the Left turn and drop down to a footpath running along the fence bordering the filed by the stream and continue North East up the valley. At the time of writing there were several fallen trees you need to squeeze under. The footpath then becomes a good track heading up the valley to a hairpin bend, with several tracks in all directions. Take the second track on the Left, doubling back on yourself uphill.  

 You then need to retrace your path back to the hairpin bend in the Hirgwm valley, then follow the track uphill on the East side of the valley. Climb up over the ridge, and keep going until you meet the tarmac (Roman) road again. Turn Left and after about 200m take the track straight ahead up hill (where the road takes a turn to the Right).  Keep going for a couple for miles until you reach the parking spot on the tarmac road. Turn Right, then after about 200M take the forest track on the Left to the edge of the forest. Follow this until you arrive back at the tarmac road just North of Tirabad. Turn right up this road, then take a Left into the forest by Cae- Mawr, and follow this track back to the Roman road at Esgair Fwyog. Turn right for about 1KM back to the starting car park.  

Route. – from the car park turn Left up the road for a bout a mile until you come to a forest road on the Left, just opposite Dinas Bach.

Follow this upwards to the Right of Cwm Y Rhaeadr forest, up a good track onto the open moorland of Mynydd Mallaen. Here it turns into a quad bike track, which can be tricky to follow, 

Here you have a choice- 1) you  can  follow the tracks back up the other side of Afon Gwenlais to the standing stones, then back down to the top corner of Cwm Y Rhaeadr forest, where there is a gate leading onto one of the  sweetest single track trails you will ever find. This is an official (easy) red trail made by natural resources Wales, and is 4 miles of pure fun.

2) Alternatively you can follow the trails over Esgair Ferchon and Rhiw Cilgwyn back to the road at Glangwenlais.

Route.

Continue on the road another 200 yards, and just before Maes Llwyn y Fyddau take a minor lane on  the right with a dead end sign. Cross the bridge, bear Left and continue about a mile to Nant Rhyd Ifor.

Take a dirt road leading up hill towards the top of the ridge. Enter the forestry then take the first road right towards Allt Penrhiw.

Follow the forest road as it meanders along the crest of the Pysgotwr valley, stopping at the occasional break in the trees for a magnificent view up and down the valley.

Route- from the station, cross town and head North West on the road to Llanwrtyd. At Dinas turn Left up a lane which leads into a bridle way. Follow this bridle way South West up Cwm Lletgwial until it joins the forest roads. Follow these past Croes Lwyd Fach and drop down to the road which skirts Llyn Brianne. 

At the junction at Abergwesyn turn Left and continue to Llethr Bach Helyg. . 

 Just before Gilfach there is a bridle way on your rRight leading up Nant Gwyn  which drops down into Lofftwen and then back to Llanwrtyd Wells.
