Gwynedd Council's Wales Coastal Path team has worked with landowners in the south Meirionnydd area to tackle problems with a minority of 4x4 users. The section of the route in question is a restricted byway running from the tops of Cwm Maethlon through Glygyrog Wen and leading to the village of Cwrt near Pennal. The landowners had expressed their concerns about this for some time, with the situation worsening. The condition of the road was extremely poor, with several potholes almost six feet deep. Also, some users were veering off the line of the road and getting into trouble in the marshy ground nearby.
