Re: JR Harley Davidson

The Upper Neuadd loop is a good un to.
And the tunnel that has old escort or cavaliers burnt out inside.

Yeah, I spent a lot of time up the Upper Neuadd last summer. The dam is very impressive. Too many f*cking sheep around there though.

What tunnel? The one on the Taff Trail heading towards Ponsticill Res?

About half a mile walk over the viaduct on Taff Trail from the Aberglas pub

I never fully appreciated how close we live to such beauty until lockdown and started walking the local rivers and reservoirs. I like the forestry trail loop just up from the Red Cow. Once you go over the bridge and walk up the hill to the the top so your overlooking the Ponsticill Reservoir, theres not many better views. I walked it last summer, it was a beautiful sunny day, the trees were reflecting off the water and the steam train was running and you could have literally been anywhere in the world. Looked like something youd see in Canada or Colorado not 5 miles from the Gurnos. :hehe:

I remember that view, cycled down route 8 from north wales about 10 yrs ago, cuts right through some beautiful places and old roads.
Then you cut in to Gurnos…..:hehe: a wake up call

Yeah that’s the Miler. 1 mile tunnel from Pant to Pontsarn. They’ve blocked it up now.

I like walking through the Gurnos after walking down from the res / Morlais castle. I walk past my old house when I was a kid and remind myself life ain’t that bad and there’s always some other poor ****er worse off.

It’s fenced off and blocked up the Pant end you can’t walk through it from one end to the other anymore. Has been for years, my daughters went to the primary school next door to the Pant entrance, they put metal railings up to stop people entering. It was blocked up Pontsarn end too but some nosey bastards like you probably took the metal sheeting off the entrance :hehe:

There is a steel fence metal surrounding the area to other entrance (Pant) to stop stolen cars from being dumped there. Both entrances were blocked with metal sheeting, they’ve obviously been vandalised to gain access again.

The opposite entrance has big rocks in front of the entrance but it's overgrown with trees so didn't see a fence..
Pretty decent inside it's flat and no litter.
Theres another tunnel in Torpantau aswell?

Fence is about 50-75 yards away up by the school. I’ll take a photo for you tomorrow if you like :hehe:

Not sure about the Torpantau tunnel. I only been up there once when I had a very brief dalliance with mountain biking.

There was water, trees and old junk which must have been between the entrance and the fence?
Ive never been to the Torpantau tunnel but theres some decent waterfalls in that area..
