2024 Itinerary
Registration and Camping at Panpwnton Farm, Knighton from 18.00 – registration closes 19.30. Rock-up, park the car and find a pitch to camp. Food and drink venues available in the market town of Knighton just 10 minute walk away.
Wake up and ready yourself for the adventure that lies ahead. Depart at 8.00am and leave your tent and bag with our friendly staff – Bagman’s got you covered!
Today’s route starts with a few kms of tarmac before going off piste up the mighty Goytre Hill. You may find this first ramp arduous and a bit of pushing required but fear not; the views from the top are well worth the effort and the remaining parcours becomes less punishing. Enjoy the quiet lanes and long gravel sections as the Trans Cambrian Way threads through the beautiful welsh countryside on the route less travelled. Take time to rest and refuel at our two feed stations on course before pushing on to the stunning Teifi Pools and Strata Florida.
And if you have any energy left use it! Our food concession, music and bar should keep you occupied throughout the evening at the amazing Pafiliwn Bont, Pontrhydfendigaid.
Another day of glorious scenery as we loop north and east back to Knighton. Rest up at one of our two feed stations to enjoy stunning vistas in the great outdoors.
The final stretch traces Offa’s Dyke back south along the English border before the last descent into Knighton. Fancy a dip in the river?
You’re welcome – see you next year!
