Riding in Merthyr Mawr

I used to have one for years, just text the mothership to see if she has the details. Its a private estate whom you pay it too. It wasnt much at all however I know the only problem can be that they only issue so many a year

I think if you can get safely dropped off or park in one of the neighboring areas - then you should be OK to ride, Im sure the permit was for just parking our lorry in the car park... Think thats the bit they own not the dunes

Hope that helps - will PM you the number if I have it x
 
Are you desperate to ride ON the dunes?
If not ride back down the roadway bearring right, cross the river, bear right, cross the next and follow the river to the sea. You don't need a permit for that
 
That sounds like it could be a plan- if I'm following where you mean, would that take me past ogmore castle on the other side of the river?
 
It's the Countryside Council for Wales who manage the site and the permits. Did have a contact number somewhere, I'll see if I can find it. They don't make it easy to find the right person though!

ETA It would be really good if you could just buy a day pass - or maybe pay a premium for parking, as I don't go enough to justify an annual pass but I suppose part of the motivation is to limit the number so they don't want to make it easy to just rock up and ride.
