| Cumulative | Distance | Where | Notes | Direction | Elevation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0km | 0km | Gwbert | This is my chosen start point, but you could start anywhere on the loop. However, do it this direction round to maximise the best off-road downhills. And this point is worth a visit for it's views. | S | 166° | 24m |
| 0.04km | 0.04km | Climb the hill through and out of Gwbert. | ENE | 66° | 24m | |
| 2.03km | 1.99km | Y Ferwig | E | 81° | 107m | |
| 2.13km | 0.1km | Left at T-junction in Y Ferwig. | NNW | 330° | 107m | |
| 2.86km | 0.73km | Watch out for ducks! Turn left around the pond. | NNW | 351° | 112m | |
| 3.51km | 0.66km | Nantycroy | Sorry about the 2+ mile Tarmac drudge to start. Start of Off-Road Section 1. Into Nantycroy farm past the caravan site. Keep left ahead. | ENE | 57° | 88m |
| 3.8km | 0.29km | Take a left in the farmyard. | NNW | 317° | 84m | |
| 3.84km | 0.03km | Through the gateway on the left side of the barn and follow the lane as it eventually narrows to singletrack. | NNW | 355° | 80m | |

| 4.92km | 0.06km | Through the gate and head left down the hill. | ESE | 104° | 78m | |
| 4.94km | 0.03km | Left at the waymark post. It's marked as a footpath but it is a RUPP/Restricted Byway, so you have ROW. This is the beginning of a good downhill. Watch out for ramblers, there's plenty of them round here. The track runs on bedrock in some places - not sure if it gets slippy in the wet. | NE | 33° | 78m | |
| 5.38km | 0.44km | Up the hill to the road. End of Off-Road Section 1. | NE | 29° | 26m | |

| 5.51km | 0.07km | Off-Road section 2. This loop is optional (bear left off the road). It's of questionable worth. There is a RUPP/Bridleway here but it's not way marked. It climbs the hill turns right then I think it runs down the east side of the chapel back to the road, but I couldn't see it. | NNW | 344° | 26m | |

| 6.5km | 0.19km | Single track - follow your nose. | SE | 120° | 61m | |
| 6.83km | 0.32km | Through the gate into the farmyard. Dog leg through the yard and up the right side of the house. The route is marked as a footpath, but again it's actually a bridleway. | SE | 129° | 95m | |
| 6.87km | 0.04km | Through the gate and turn left to the road up the hill. | E | 81° | 95m | |

| 11.18km | 0.6km | Turn right onto singletrack. | W | 251° | 99m | |
| 11.4km | 0.22km | Out of the singletrack and onto a gravel farm track. | W | 268° | 98m | |
| 11.76km | 0.36km | Onto the road and take the next left. End of Off-Road Section 4. | WNW | 275° | 94m | |
| 11.79km | 0.02km | Turn left. | SSW | 185° | 94m | |
| 11.81km | 0.03km | Bear left. | SSE | 140° | 90m | |

| 15.18km | 0.47km | Left before the gateway ahead. | ENE | 56° | 135m | |

| 15.9km | 0.01km | Pick up a county road climbing steeply up the right side of the house. It gets a bit muddy through here, so it's a slightly disappointing track, but it links well with a couple more RUPPs ahead. | WNW | 277° | 85m | |

| 18.54km | 0.26km | End of Off-Road Section 7. Turn left onto A487. Take care - busy fast A-road. Look for the first road turning right. | WSW | 233° | 117m | |
