Had an excellent time, Penmachno was by far my favourite ride of the the lot despite the rain! Few close calls but no falls that day.
MBR was a great ride too, I missed out on the beast which the people I was with did as I was ill that day (glad I was in a way as they got completely sodden and even got hailed on at the top!).
First day we did the orange trail which I cant remember the name of, nice short ride which takes in most of the nice singletrack sections, was a good opening ride for us.
The only bad injury was a mate who decided it would be a good idea to try a 3-4 foot drop in the pitch dark after a few too many bevvies, something which normally wouldnt be a problem. Cue 3 attempts, 3 stacks and a lot of chunks missing from his knees, arms, hands and shoulder….dont think he’ll be doing that again.
I recommend Cae Gwynn Farm if your looking for somewhere to stay, very friendly owners and stunning views.
