nice mellow ride with flowing decents

Review:
A great, fun trail to spin around for an hour, easy climbs and flowing decents as fast as you make them. No technical obstacles.

Summary:
OK if you can hack the trail road climbs

Review:
The trail starts with a very long uphill slog on fire roads which sadly detracts from the whole experience. The down hill is very good but it's an effort to get there.

Crackin Trail

Review:
Did the Wall trail on Sunday 4 Jul 10. What a trail. The climb is a bit of a slog but you a rewarded with some smashim singletrack decent, espicailly the final decent. The route however gets a bit slippery afetr a bit of rain as it did on sunday, but overall a great day out. The route was shortened on sunday as there had been a landslip so was only 17km long, but all the same a great ride.

Rubbish!

Review:
We set off at 5am from the midlands to take on the mighty skyline...having read the reviews, we were so looking forward to it....
On arrival, facilties were good, we got changed and head off to what we thought was going be an Epic ride...BOY were we wrong!
I have never climbed so much to be rewarded with such little desent...:(...fire road after fire after fire road....TOILET

Coming from riding the Dragons Back and Beast at coed y brenin (on a regular basis), there really is no contest.....
2/3 of the way in, we were so bored...only the plus for me was the last 6km decent and the rating of 2 is for that only.

Advice, take a trip to Coed y brenin and see how trails should be :)

Apologies for such a negative review, but it really was disappointing.
