The Prince Llewelyn Ride Across Wales

[Jay]

I would love to ride across wales on the The Prince Llewelyn Ride and would love to hear from anyone that has ridden this route.

I live in Mid Wales so the starting point isnt that far from us, but would love to know more about the actual route etc.

Just looked it up, it looks amazing.

I found a report here from someone who's done it.

Thanks Carol, i had seen that report, and the mentions of the bogs were worrying as i dont fancy taking my horse through bogs that are belly deep! I was hoping that its been improved and isnt quite that bad now.

Shân Cothi did a ride starting from the Seahorse Ride up here and I think incorporated the Prince Llewellyn as she ended up in South Wales. Her blog is here www.amserjustintime.org/news/2008/08/26/horse-ride-challenge-daily-blog/

I have done this three times. I ride it in a large group every August with Sarah Myhill who designed it. It is just a big group of friends, nothing commercial so we all sleep on the floor of barns and it is like one big party for four days! We finish up by swimming the horses which is amazing. BUT I would never try to do it on my own as it is not marked and the bogs, hills and ravines are very challenging. Try www.yourhorseadventures as they do an escorted trip across Wales but it is very expensive.
