Details
| Description: | Pwll Du consists of open upland mining terrain lying between 400m and 500m. There are many spoil heaps and other distinct earthworks, but equally as many less distinct features. The majority of the area has been mapped as rough open. This is generally very runnable with some denser heather in the east. In this area in particular there are large areas of bare mining spoil which offers good to very good running. So that the map is as clear as possible these areas are represented by the brown normally used to represent parking areas rather than sandy ground as competitors may expect. |
