brilliant but too short for me

Review:
love the climb up and the beautiful flowing desent but its a shame that to get in decent ride you would have to do it twice or add on the skyline which could be too much for the less intrepid

Review:
This is a superb trail and after this, the trails at home will seem rather inadequate ;-) Energy is a fantastic section. The boarded section was a little disappointing, lacked a bit of flow. But definitely worth the climb overall.

Review:
The 1st climbs just seems to go on and on but once you get up there and sample the downhill section then it's well worth it.

The energy section with the table tops was immense. Overall very technical, very fast and very knackering!

Long, but the two decents are worth it

Review:
I have not ridden the Wall before so thought W2 sounded good. Whites level climb is amazing, love it (I am a mountain goat). Thought the link road was boring but an essential. Wall decent was good fun. If you dont want to stop at the original Afan centre take a left at the bottom of the final decent and save yourself 2 miles of pointless riding.
Climb back up the wall is a little boring but once you get to the woods its great.
Northshore near the end of Whites is great and the final decent is super.
Not sure where 4-7 hours came from as it took us just under 3 hours and we took our time. But take a camel bak with kit as you do get out in the wild with this one.
