We drove the Bastard Lane the wrong way around (without knowing it)....so when it goes upstairs, you're wrong.

There is a nice easy, good views on the Fairbourne side called Bomber Lane. There is a war memorial along it. Would be good in all weather but views would be restricted by clouds as its above the valley, then goes over to other side of the mountain.
Another lane runs parallel between Fairbourne and Bomber lane but I haven't driven that one. According to TW2 it's another scenic one that stays on the Fairbourne side of the hill.
Not sure how long it takes to sort or if it's instant, but if you join GLASS you get access to an online mapping system that will show you the various green lanes in England and Wales with comments from users about how difficult, easy, damaging or other.

Join GLASS, use the mapping software and do not go off lane as the ramblers, pony trekkers and the NIMBYs want to close the lanes to all but themselves.

Have a lovely time!
