Does anyone have any information about the parts of Sarn Helen that we can legally drive?

The only part I know of that isn't constantly under fire from all sides in the fight to stay open is the section North of Dolgellau that runs through Coed y Brenin. It's 100% tame with the biggest challenge being a set of deep ruts which can be straddled if necesary, but is a nice run through the countryside.

Thanks jimbo do you have the grids for those parts, as I have routes plotted on memory map then I can see about planning the next trip.

Cheers rob

Rob, the lower part has just had a TRO put on it, the north and north-mid section are ok. Mid section is a bit of a long story right now, but I would still use it Wink

that is not to say it is ok to use as Powys CC will say it is not ok to use.

Thanks Jim I did not realize that
Sarn Helen runs the complete length of Wales, I seem to be missing the
S H part on memory map now so I will try to sort that one out.
Paul if you have time can you send pm me the grids for the bits that are ok to drive.
Thank rob
