this is the 1st proper mtb trail i ever ridden and its was obv not my last. ive been hooked on mtbing since!! the climb can be challenging, but please note to save energy for going down dale!! the single track is amazing my personnel favorite part is 'sidewinder' thats followed by the unforgetable 'dead sheep gulley!' R$ecommended for great easy ride!! or the most challenging!!(its up 2 u)

Summary:
Flowing red route, not technically difficult, all fireroad climbs, some long

Review:
A tight singletrack with plenty of flowing sections. More of an easy-moderate red route and best of the Afan trails for beginners. Many of the sections are cross-country oriented rather than challenging downhill. Although the route does include some height it is mainly sheltered and is great for riding in rough weather as the trail drains well. More experienced riders should look to the other Afan valley trails first.

Come to Wales, ride the trails!!!

Review:
Fantastic ride with great technical sections to test your nerves and skills. It can be ridden by novices and experts. Just take the ride to your own pace and don't take the risk if you feel unsure onthe technical descent.
On my second visit the ride was even more enjoyable, I manage to complete the big climb without stopping. I did find it ended too soon compared to when I first did the ride. This is one ride that'll leave a smile on your face, no matter the weather.
