Looking for some interesting routes or climbs to build into routes within about 25 miles of Bala in Wales.
Have already got plans to climb Bwlch-y-Groes and Horseshoe Pass.
Need a few more...any help appreciated :D

    All of this route is great.

    Watch out for the drivers. Had a weekend up there in the summer and got never ending
    abuse - including one car that tried to knock me off with their door.

    Bala is also a very odd place.

    In my opinion, Bala used to have the best chip-and-fish shop in Wales, 2nd or 3rd best in the UK. Also, roughly opposite, there was a great pub, for beer, atmosphere, intermingling with locals, and darts. I heard the chippy has changed hands and isn't any longer the same. Don't know about the pub.

    The chippy is "Y Badell Aur" and it's always my first stop after Wild Wales and Gran Fondo.

    We rode this route earlier in the year. A few dodgy road surfaces but mainly traffic free, at least it was on the day we did it
