Brilliant introduction to trail centre mtbing

Review:
I had great fun on the green and blue trails - they were not at all what I was expecting. I enjoyed every bit of both routes, even the climbs were ok!

Some good sections

Review:
After getting there and seeing the ambulance we thought we were in for a good day ,but what i didn't see was the massive climb at the start.

After the initial climb i was expecting big things but apart from a few nice burns it didn't come and towards the end couldn't wait to get back to the car.

Going to give the Gorlech trail a go next weeekend heard good things.Going to give the trail 7/10 cause the table tops are some of the best i've ridden

One of the best.

Review:
This trail has it all, log rails, big burms, great table top sections, rocky drops and a killer climb.
But the downhill sections are well worth the hard climb on the start.

Summary:
gr8 first mountain bike experience

Review:
My first proper mtb experience and i loved it. I had so much fun on both the green and blue trails. Both trails are great even when they are wet. Very smooth pumpy single track on the green and a very fun descent on the blue with plenty of berms and a few table tops. I could do it over and over again!

Summary:
Good sections but poor linking of them.

Review:
After a long trip to get here we wished we had gone a shorter distance and travelled to the whites level in afan or the gorlech trail.
The first section is good as said in the first review^^ but from then on you have a poor climb and some sort of track into a boggy lane which takes you somewhere over the hill into a steep descent.
After this there is a very very long climb which most cannot be ridden of endless fireroad and muddy tracks which have not been surfaced so are mostly un ridable.
We thought we were completely lost as the fireroad went on for ages, and i mean ages. Then eventually you will find a sign and be thankful as these signs don't come around often so treasure the ones you do find.
You will eventually find the jump section which appears in most of the videos. And if i was you i would follow the fireroad from the car park straight up to this section and just session this as it is well built and fun. The rest i felt was a waste of time with 70% of it climbing on fireroads for a few good descents.
Only because of the good work done on the jump section and berms which appears in most of thie videos i will give it a 6/10
The rest of the trail lets the whole place down in my opinion.
