I legally drove part of SARN HELEN last Sunday afternoon, on the way home from West Wales. The low down.....
The route is in 3 sections - lets call them South, Middle and North.
The southern section and half of the middle section is in Neath Port Talbot Borough Council and was designated a By Way before NERC. NPT Council open it for June July and August. It is open NOW!!!!!!! The large rock that blocked the northern end of the south section has been removed. It will be put back early September.
The rest of the middle (Roman steps) and all of the North section (Rocky Road) are in Brecon County Council. They had it as a RUPP before NERC so now it is a Restricted Byway and is NOT open. There are small signs on the gate posts saying so. Unless someone mounts a legal challenge these sections will remain closed. NERC has no right of appeal, by the way.
