23rd September 2006: A ride from Prestatyn
The ride started with a quick refreshment break in Prestatyn, then a weaving through the streets on to the Prestatyn to Dyserth cycleway using the old mineral railway line to avoid the busy A547. A quick right and left onto Maes Hiraddug resulted in removal of outer layer of clothing. A brief stop, then on to the first bridleway past Bryn Cnewyllyn Farm through a boggy section past Marian Mill before returning to firmer ground and tarmac on the lane from Trelawnyd to Rhuallt hill, passing the restored drovers watering pool at Glanllyn.
Leaving Ysceifiog in a southwest direction, a sharp left turn along a white lane, christened as nettle alley, led us through Bryn Coed wood and on a stony track reaching Lixwm onto the B5121 heading for Brynford. A left turn brought us onto the bridleway passing Calcot Hall with a recently churned up surface resulting in a test of the riders handling skills on the decent to Babell road.
The remainder of the ride was on minor roads passing through Gorsedd and descending
through Downing to the refreshment stop at Aberkham Fabrics in Llanerch-
