NCN route 818 from Llangurig to Cwmystwyth - there's a strip of asphalt left in the centre.

Railtrail towards Aberaeron (NCN route 822)

Unecessary barrier on NCN 81

Construction of Non-Motorised User path from the Gogerddan Campus (the Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences) of Aberystwyth University to the new Bow Street station, opened in February 2021.

The legendary Teifi Valley Railway; sadly there were no trains running on this fine July day, but the cycle ride along ncn 82 to Lampeter was delightful.

The 10.30 am for Devil's Bridge storms out of Aberystwyth in the charge of No.1213 'Prince of Wales'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ystwyth_Trail

Great to see new @WG_Economy funded #activetravel schemes in #aberystwyth @CeredigionCC https://t.co/faLRnRIcbW [The replies to this tweet do not appear to share the opinion that this is in any way 'great'.]

Unsigned route towards Cardigan that seems known to local cyclists.

Cycle route sign, Llechryd (east of Cardigan)

Dangerous right turn! Beware unseen oncoming traffic from blind bend just ahead.

A welcome break!

There are often some of these loose on the roads. Stay alert!

These back roads are often narrow single track with passing places. Traffic is light but not zero, so stay alert!

This sign is only for car parking - the historic furnace is actually across the road to the right.

Rejoining the main road north from Aberystwyth

Good but isolated (and thus fairly useless) stretch of shared-use path by the main road north from Aberystwyth

Busy (really) and not very cycle-friendly main road north from Aberystwyth

It's a serious climb up to the University of Aberystwyth - some decent off-road cycle tracks would be a great help! It would also be good if this footbridge was available to cyclists.

Car blocking access to the new cycle bridge, Aberystwyth - but it looks as if yellow lines are about to be added.

It's cycleable, but was this surface chosen to slow bikes down?

After a brief section on road, the Ystwyth Trail (NCN 82), from the Cors Caron nature reserve to Aberystwyth, turns left (ie to the right) to go off-road again as NCN81 - but actually it's far easier to stay on the road for a fast downhill ... [more]

Rejoining NCN route 82

Unsigned, but this is the way from Lampeter east to NCN route 82

One of the many points where we gave up on the hilly roundabout Sustrans route and just opted for the main road along the valley for a while.

Sharp turn from the Landysul one-way system to NCN route 82

Grassy section of NCN route 82

Junction sign on NCN route 82

There's a clear choice - ride on busy main roads, or push up the hills on the National Cycle Network

The loneliest NCN sign in Britain? An isolated Route 82 sign, not on Route 82, but at the end of the stunning (rough) track over to the Claerwen Reservoirs and Rhayader.

Foot bridge in Cardigan - a dropped kerb would be nice.

University of Wales, Lampeter - no visible provision for cycling.
