Active travel

It is possible to safely store your bike at the village hall. There are places to chain it up outside or it can be taken into the hall.


Why not make a weekend of it and camp at Cwmdu Campsite very nearby and walk/run to the start.

Public transport

Unfortunately this is not an easy option.

Travel by car

Please car share if possible, parking is very tight. Do not jeopardise the future of the event by parking irresponsibly

Safety information

Escape routes: retrace route or take any number of well-trodden descent paths to roads below that can take you back to the village hall. 4 marshals are planned for the hill at checkpoints - these will have mobile phones and contact with RO.
