Reviews for Afan Forest Mountain Bike Trails

Summary:
Worth doing at least once.

Review:
It's a huge undertaking, definitely for the well prepared and with a comfy saddle ;-)

The views are brilliant, lots of short forest sections that are great fun. Grand Canyon is a real test of your suspension!

What spoilt it for me was all the fire roads. Too much of that for my liking. I prefer shorter trails, Whites Level is highly recommded.

Summary:
You need to have some stamina for this.

Review:
If you are going to afan of a fun challenge, start here.
Your legs will beg you to get off and walk at the start and your hands will aching by the last few singletrack sections but when you finish, you feel like you could take on anything!
Worth doing twice if you can.
I had to stop for a bit to get feeling back in my hands on second run before final descent but made it back to shop in 7.5hrs

Summary:
Good Trail

Review:
Good trail, nothing to technical, though it is a good trail for a short hour or so ride ride. got to be said that hdden valley is the best part!

Summary:
Plain brilliant!

Review:
Just got back - lovely 4 hours on the Skyline trail. Missed a sign and got slightly lost as we had our heads down for a climb just after missing a sharp turn. The final section, Jetlag, is awesome and the climbs are wonderful - the first one gets you well warmed up for the day?! A great cross country ride full of excitement. The trail reminds you about what Wales is all about.

Summary:
Not To Technical, Suited to Those Making the Step Up from Blue

Review:
If you're just getting into MTB or making the step up from blue graded trails, then this is the destination for you.

It starts with a fairly big climb (some singletrack, some fire road), then a series of downhills with one longer climb in the middle.

It can be a susceptible to being a bit boggy in wet conditions.

There isn't anything particularly technical about the trail and it is the easiest of the Afan trails.
