To the coast, route review/suggestions please

This is a trip I've been thinking about for awhile, and with a new bike imminent I've started planning it again. Basically it's from home (the pub down the road) over to Coed Y Brenin, with an overnight in between, then get the train home from Barmouth.

So Friday afternoon, leave Shropshire and head West, do about 40 miles, bivi, Saturday get up and ride to CyB, once there we drop bags at the Bothy and then have a bit of fun on the trails. Sunday ride, possibly via Pont Scetin, to Barmouth, dip toes in sea and get the 3pm train to Mach, then the 6pm train to Shrewsbury.

I've created a route and uploaded it to google docs, shared so should be available to anyone, I would have hosted it somewhere with mapping, but I can't find anything that works well, easy to download and then upload into bikehike.co.uk or your local mapping software.

Look for any suggestions really to improve it.

Cheers :D

Nick is there anyway you can get different trains ... there's some good riding to be had between Barmouth and Mach'. It'd be a shame to miss it.

Well to be honest I don't see why not really... not been round the west side of Cadair yet.
