Let’s see a bit of TW in action….
Can you look at Builth wells and give me a general screen shot of lanes/bridal ways in the area. If it’s any good I will join
Thanks for your help

The Upper Claerwen byway ends at Claerwen, but there's a private link road at the end owned by the Elan Valley Trust that goes through to a UCR. You can email Elan Valley for a permit to drive the link road.

Shown here between the red (Upper Claerwen) and green (open section of UCR).

Thanks. This looks easy to use

There's always the relevant council 'definitive map' but they aren't always up to date

But you need to find the area first,then find the relevant council. Thought I had found the correct area…. Nope about 100miles to far north(that site will be used for other routes later on)

I am making lots of notes as I go.
Thing is I have to do most of this weekends as connections are not good for me during the week to run 2 pads.

Powys above Claerwen.

If you use streetmap.co.uk it will tell you the exact postcode of wherever you point. Helps to find the right council

Does the blue lane (tro) form part of Monks Trod or lead to Monks Trod?

Yep been on Powys site. Just linking up areas and councils

http://wetroads.co.uk/ is good if you want to see a list of fords in each county

Here a problem. Nice lane not showing anything on definitive map.
A bridal path is shown(on definitive map)so it’s the correct council.

Rights of Way Map - Ceredigion County Council

I will put in my route for checking.

Black seems to be byways, not many on there?

Yep… I just zoom out and scan colours. Second pad runs the os map so I get a general idea where I am. That’s when I spotted the unmarked ROW.
May have to chat with a few Welsh people…

There are a lot of UCRs in the area (including Soar-Y-Mynydd at the southern end of that bridleway) which aren't usually shown on rights of way maps.

Do they show on Tw?
Or if things are not marked do people still put notes up on the route/UCR ?
Thanks all for you ongoing help

Yeah Trailwise shows UCRs - they're the blue ones on the screenshots.

+ one for trailewise.

I’ve used it for lanes around Kent when planning a couple of days with another forum member.
I agree that Glass is pretty dead in Kent… not even got a rep at moment!
