Traws Eryri on a Gravel Bike: Big Mistake?

The Traws Eryri is a 200km off-road route through the heart of Snowdonia. It's touted as a mountain bike route, which which made me wonder how much of a nightmare it might be on a gravel bike. Guess there's only one way to find out... Shot during the summer heatwave, watch out for heat and fire detours near the Rhinogs and Conwy sections. Join me as I take on off-road sections, steep climbs, and quite rocky descents on tyres that are way too skinny.
