A muddy in places route, but perfectly functional. At the bottom, crossings at at the roundabout, and then a good, albeit muddy, footpath along the Alyn brings us into Mold....

An improved route for RUTMOL 2 (which crossed private land near Plas Hafod Hotel, near Mold); In Jan 2023 NRW cleared path along SE edge of Clwyd Forest- still rough and not waymarked, but now useable; at NE corner of forest there is clear sloping diagonal path (avoids very steep section) and stile into field to avoid house garden....

This route is technically navigable (the riverside path problem is pretty short and looks easy to resolve) and it may be very attractive overall, and have lots of off road sections but it does all that at the expense of being direct (nearly twice the shortest possible route!) and of being safe....

This route works with a couple of small modifications shown below, it includes quite a lot of obstacles making it non navigable on wheels., and you need to be fit enough to hop over plenty of stiles. A slightly revised route has been uploaded taking in this change a few other small tweaks to avoid a few barriers and include the walk past facilities in Loggerheads (cafe and loos)....

There was no public right-of-way from there along the disused railway so we had to follow the main road to GR 084631. At GR 113635 ‘slow ways’ suggested we turn sharp left but there was no public right-of-way so again we continued on the road. Having rather lost faith in the route by now we continued on the road until we rejoined slow ways at GR 135634 and so on into Moel Fammau country Park....

The section from Greenhill Farm to Well Street - across the fields, through the horse paddocks and the perimeter of the farm can get a bit boggy, even without bad weather. Stay on Rose lane and turn left onto Well Street to navigate around this small section, it's a relatively quiet road....
