Might head over to S Wales tomorrow and keen to ride away from a trail centre. Am thinking of the Gap. Any more ideas?

We went down for a weekend recently – did a big one over the Black Mtns from Talgarth, unfortunately I wasn’t navigating so can’t remember the details, but an OS map shows lots of routes on the tops. Might be hard going though after the rain. Did The Gap on the next day, frankly it wasn’t as good!

Probably not much help, reading it again, but I’ll post it anyway.

Have a look at the black mountains killer loop. Gap might be a better option given the rain we’ve had, though.

I was there this weekend and did the gap road, which I really enjoyed. Nothing too twisty but lots of loose rocks and boulders. Conditions were great and the trail condition isn’t really affected by the rain we’ve had.

I wanted to do a Talgarth Red but didn’t get a chance. “Foothills of the Black Mountains”
