Wayfarer Memorial Traverse

Highlight • Trail

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: gravelshack.life/north-wales-the-wayfarer
