Some boggy sections really suck the power out of every pedal stroke making the road running next to this look much more appealing

The track from the East is broken but doable on a gravel bike - I had to push the last few hundred metres. Awkward terrain - large stones - and plenty of puddles - but a fabulous day on 2 wheels!

The Wayfarer Memorial Traverse is a very rough but wide track that can be best described as a good gravel ride for the most part. It is best ridden on a mountain bike if you want some comfort, otherwise a gravel bike or other tough touring bike will manage it if you have appropriate wide 40mm+ tyres. Either way be prepared for a bit of walking on some of the tougher stages but don't let this detract from the fact that overall this is a classic route totally rideable for the best part and with great views that is well worth the effort. Best done in good weather. If in doubt have a read of the following article: https://gravelshack.life/north-wales-the-wayfarer/

A cycle friendly hotel with heritage of housing Wayfarer prior to his Over the Top article of 1919. They've a shed they can securely keep your bikes, good hearty meals and good ale. Plus a sheltered spot if you're assembling / doing maintenance on your bike.
