Friday Ferlix Audax - 9th August 2024. On a Friday!

[Philip Whiteman]

Ferlix is a little known cantref or principality from medieval times, located in Mid-Wales. It is little known in terms of cycling either but it packs a punch in terms of gorgeous scenery, quiet lanes and hills. This section is topped and tailed by some typical Herefordshire and Worcestershire countryside, providing diversity and interest. A roads are avoided wherever possible.
