Collie double

I've done a few Collie doubles over the years, but this counts as one of the longer ones. Generally speaking, I append a long loop onto the classic Friday evening route, often a road loop when increasing the mileage (in this case, for the imminent Sandstone Trail, for which I feel undertrained, certainly in terms of distance). This was a Good Friday link-up of the region's finest pubs, starting from the Collie, passing the Druid in Llanferres, then south to Llanarmon yn Ial and the Raven, the down the quiet lanes to Graianrhyd and the Rose and Crown. From here, the delightful Ffordd Cae Newydd heads north over multiple short, sharp hills and eventually passes the Owain Glyndwr above Gwernymynydd. An extra loop over to Gwernaffield and then it was back to the Collie for the Friday classic: 32.5k/900m.
