Then follow old A5 route through WestFelton, Queens Head, Whittington, onto Gobowen, turn right in Gobowen and head for St Martins, left in St Martins to the Gledrid Island at Chirk. Straight over the island into Chirk, onto Llangollen and then up the pass.

Back via the same route?

I guess so, that's up to the individual drivers I think.
