Can’t find a thread on this (someone mentioned they’d ridden a bit recently).

New trail apparently opened on Friday, though very little info to be found, more on Xtreme track facebook page.
Judging by the pictures though, it looks like they have gone for CyB/Afan style wide mtb pavement. I’m sure it’ll be fun, but I liked the trails at Nant because they were narrow singletrack that mostly utilised local surface material. The old trails fit in to the landscape far better, even taking into account years of bedding in/softening of edges etc. It seems as though the specification for new trails has changed a lot recently: wider, more surfacing, uniform untechnical surface, a lot more banking (what’s wrong with some flat cornering?), a lot more obtrusive on the landscape too..
