Will be up in the Coed y Brenin area soon and was wondering it was worth going the extra 40 minutes up to Penmachno? Planning a few days in the area but haven't done either before and it looks like Coed y has enough trials for a weekends riding. Or is Penmachno worth the extra effort?

Horses for courses though.

Yes, far better than CYB
Posted 1 year ago # -
Yes! (in case you missed it)
Posted 1 year ago # -
Yes, it's great and makes a good two-day trip with the beast/tawr at CYB.
Not better than CYB IMO, just different, but just as good.

I had to stop to take a picture - honest

No.
Wasn't impressed with it, I'm afraid. Would far rather head to NYA instead.

Yes. Loved it - best trail I've ridden in fact
Posted 1 year ago # -
Best trail centre that I've rode.No cafe,no d£ck-heads-bliss.
Posted 1 year ago # -
Prefer CYB, but yes it's worth the drive. It has a more natural feel than most other built trails.
Posted 1 year ago # -
Penmachno is cool, stand out part for me is the last blast back to the parking area,
Th Guys that built the trail are all keen MTB riders so that explains the good riding it offers, the trail ranger at PyB is the guy that built the trail at Pen, so thank him if you see him , real nice guyPosted 1 year ago # -
Penmachno > CYB
CYB = X
X = shite

Anyone got a map (or a GPS route/track) linking the Marin trail across to the Penmachno one?
Make a day of it!

Your welcome Stranger
Have a good ride

I really enjoyed it - the top section (Middle Earth ?) was great fun. And as JD-Boy says the final blast down into the car park a blast.
Not for those who don't like climbing and need a cafe at the end.Posted 1 year ago # -
I live in North Wales so am blessed to have all the areas trail centres available to ride within a short drive. Penmachno, still my fave by a country mile

Amen to that!!
Penmachno is really horrible when wet and is one big miserable slog after a sustained wet period which is exactly what we've had in north wales .
Ace in the dry though.
