Tremeirchion (Cow lane), Cefn Du

Two Boats here, one from Craig at SJ089723 to SJ094732, very pleasant and quite easy, we call it Cow lane. In 2005 whilst on our own, in an open top Series, we were surrounded by a herd of cows who assumed we had food on board. Pushed nearly 3 feet off the track into a brick wall the farmer appeared, who we though would be non pleased. However he turned out to be a pleasant bloke who was more concerned about us then his cows. Ssnce by now, one was mounting the back of the tub. After much pushing, shouting etc we were able to move on again having lost 2 light lens, broken number plate, and obtained a large dent in the side. Its all part of the fun, he explained he never really sees any 4x4's, and the cows assume a Land rover is farmers truck. Has wife had joined us by now and we a had a nice chat about everything from the council tax to rubbish collections, then we moved on. Lovely lane as long as you don't mind the damage caused by the "wildlife ". If going east to west watch out, easy to lose the lane in a field at the start.

The other lane is from SJ089721 to SJ098723, often these two lanes are done as part of a loop from the B5429, If on this road, look out for the White Tea House a real gem, its like a scene out of film Reach for the Sky.
