I gather there is an off road link between the two trails anyone any idea or even better done it? Did try it the other day and we got lost and over our cranks in bog somewhere in Snowdonia (yes no gps or map!) .
Went off the marin at the ugly house hill and then over the bridge turning right and up a path to the bog at the top! Came down eventually to Dolwyddelen but could not find the path over the next hill to Penmachno! its there somewhere! Ended up going up that #### same hill that we did 6 times a couple of weeks before on the snowdon enduro! still having flash backs of that hill! post traumatic stress they call it i think. GPS on my santa list but no doubt it will be socks and a tangarine again.

Yeah, there is a route - it was discussed somewhere else recently.
You can see it on the map although I've never tried it on the ground....not yet anyway

Iwang when you go over the bridge at the ugly house and go right turn up left after the bunkhouse(old chapel) steep stony track follow all the way over to dolwyddelan( its the bikefax Elins revenge route) follow E_R to the bridge at the end of the river trail(next to where we parked for the enduo) theres a trail on the right there (for the big 3 route) -the link is up there somewhere(i did it once accidently-so don.t know the exact way!!) think you turned off at Dolwyddelan too soon ;D

Looks like you missed the forest track behind the station at Dolwyddelan(115/738521) that will take you under Penmachno North, that comes out (778536)on the yellow that bisects Pen North and South.You've an option of eithr going up the yellow to where the trail crosses over, or crossing the road onto another forest track to pick up on Loop2, at the Allt y Pandy twin hairpins (791534). ;D
