From Moel Cynghorion you now descend directly north to the farm at Helfa Fawr and then go down the track to Hebron Station. This year there was a flagged section from immediately before the road, left over the fields and railway, to the finish.

In previous years the finish had still been in the Coed Victoria forest, but this year it was about 100 yards before you turn down into the forest at the cafe.

It's a steep descent off Cynghorion and a killer on wrecked legs, but reccying should be no problem. Although in the race I did go too far off to the left and lose a bit of time.
