I always liked the cafe for a post ride slab of cake and a mug of tea. Sure it got busy but I never had bad service.
It'll be a shame to see it go and I'll be intrigued to see what Skyline do with it.
As for the trails, I've never really found them to be in a poor state. There's been some quite marked erosion in places and the woodwork keeps getting ever more sanitised, but it's the same story at Cwmcarn. Personally I prefer the trails to be rougher and less manicured, but each to their own.
Change isn't always a bad thing!
