Summary:
Enjoyable burn

Review:
Fireroads are just a necessary part of height gain if you want the good stuff on the way down so people, stop moaning or go back to London.....anyway The Wall has excellent singletrack ascent and descent and if you're not racing anyone, you could easily do 2 laps in a day. Just be patient on the climbs. Ignore the skull and crossbone trail markers! The only criticism of this trail is the rocky section in the graveyard. You can't ride it even with a reasonable degree of handling skill so definitely doesn't belong on a red-graded trail. Anyone who says different needs to prove their skills on Youtube....I will personally kiss your riding shoes if you can do this! In short, a good little burn. Make sure you have enough on your pads!

Summary:
Big climb, Big descents, Top Trail !

Review:
Dont be put off at the start by the big singletrack climb, you'll be relieved to get to the top then full of adrenaline by the time you get to the bottom of the 1st descent. Many good technical descent sections on this trail with boulder drops, tabletop jumps, switchback berms over a mix of hardpack earth, loose stone and rock sections.....This has got to be my favourite trail between the Afan & Glyncorrwg trail centres.

Summary:
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.
