Looks fun!!! Like the vid too.

Why do you have a computer and a GPS? That’s just greedy isn’t it?

I thought that too!!

Looks good… How far north of Cwmcarn… Always thought it wold be good to link the Twrch trail with some natural stuff locally to make a decent length loop

Endomondo route

Thanks for sharing

i’ll have to do some exploring up there, being local to abertillery area i’ve ridden over the top above cwmtillery lakes many times but don’t think i’ve come across those before .

Shhhh those trails are supposed to be a secret 😀

Tunnocks Caramel, pah, where was the pig skin????

Hmm could be an interesting alternative to Cwmcarn trails, I’m likely being a muppet but how do you export that route from Endomondo?

You’re getting near to my neck of the woods there.

I don’t think you can, but the original poster should be able to for you.

You can ride almost all the way there off-road from my house in Cardiff. And good off-road too not canals.

We rode to the top of the Cwmcarn DH run from Crosskeys on monday, a pretty brutal climb. But the fort thing up on Twmbarlwm is interesting, then a steep hillside decent to the top of the concrete ramp on the Twrch trail (followed by a 10 minute fireroad climb to the DH car park).

The plan was to ride over to Machen afterwards, then Sirhowey, but I forgot it gets dark at 4pm…..

I’d like to explore that area a bit more, once you climb up out of the grimness of the valley towns it’s good countryside and riding.
