Venue: If not local, we advise you follow the A465 pass Abergavenny towards Brynmawr. Do not turn onto the B4246 signed Blaenavon / Big Pit but continue on the A465 for about 2 miles to a roundabout. Go straight ahead to continue on the A465. As you climb through Clydach Gorge you approach another roundabout. Take 1st left signed Brynmawr & Big Pit, follow to next roundabout & turn left. Follow this road for about 2 ½ miles, crossing over 2 cattle grids. You will see a sign for Whistle Inn, turn right down to the pub car park.
Please note Blaenavon show is likely to be the same day about 1km further along the road.
Route: Will be marked with orange tape + orange spray paint. Cycle track + roads marked using sawdust.
