Roll up Roll up! Who wants to ride the Rollercoaster?
South Wales LDWA are pleased to announce the return of the Gwyn Matthews’ Rhondda Rollercoaster. Starting from Trehafod Community Village Hall, participants can once again choose from either 26.5miles or 16miles that showcase the beautiful, but rugged, Rhondda Valleys.
Both routes start with a cheeky climb through the forests of Mynydd y Glyn to wake the legs and lungs then pass over Mynydd y Cymmer before the two routes part ways. The 26mile participants will then tackle a new and revised route that heads over moorland and through woods towards the glacial cwm and stunning views of Bwlch y Clawdd before turning home via Ton Pentre and Ferndale. The 16mile route will descend to Dinas then tackle the sharp climb towards Rhondda Golf Club with spectacular views over the two Rhondda Valleys. The routes will merge again for a final leg testing climb towards the iconic Tylorstown tip viewpoint before the last leg home.
There will be tea and toast at the start, indoor and outdoor checkpoints with refreshments along both routes, and a hot meal at the end. Oh, and don't forget that famous south Wales LDWA hospitality!
All participants will receive a certificate of completion.
Entries will close when all spaces are full and a waiting list will be used. We expect the event to fill quickly.
