Much of this section of route is on-road. However between Dolgellau and Machynlleth it is following local country lanes. South of Machynlleth it is on the Dylife Mountain Road which is generally a quiet road.
Towards Rhayader and Builth Wells the route is via country lanes but isnt traffic free. There are small sections which run onto the A470 which is busy North-South road in Wales.
