It’s the one on the homepage that shows a couple of steepish switchbacks, just before the photo changes to where the lad rides across some rocks..

It looks ace so wanted to check out the rest of the trail on Youtube..

Road-trip planned for End July heading up to the ‘Ardrock..

FoD, Cwm Carn, BPW, Brechfa, Nant Yr Aran, Cwm Rhaeder, Stiniog etc..

I have no idea why some people spell Bonneyville as bournville 😆

tidy i was thinking about the chocolate mun

..chocolate mun?

Mmmm chocolate…

On another note always makes me chuckle when people pronounce it Quimcarn too 😀

“Cwmcarn is ONE word, i have no idea why people split it into two”
the ordnance survey have?
The town appears as one word, up the valley where the trailhead is appears as two words?

its a great trail- makes Antur that much better, nice and steep, reminds me of the Alps

and made me think of Nant Gwrtheryn

and turns out they are doing uplifts again!!!!!!!!!!

brilliant track if you can get on an uplift well worth checking out, steep and techy, cracking views too

Sounds like bonneyville – was a clagged-up clayey mess when I rode it a few weeks ago.

Just read all the trail descriptions. Have they just made the black sections sound scary or are they really tough?

@ kimbers…what if you cant get on an uplift…how’s the climb?

I’m going to be in Afonwen in july so not far away..

If you’re talking about BPW, i’d personally say the only trail there that is properly steep and techy is the short black “half cut” diversion off the red trail. It’s steep and difficult enough to be a proper challenge, in fact, unlike most of the other trails, it’s steep enough with big enough roots/rocks/drops that you can’t really do it slowly in the way that less capable riders can do with the other trails there.

its private land, the old miners cottages and visitor centre are a welsh tourist board type thingy and they are very strict on access
which is a shame coz its quite a unique track! and you got a free bacon buttie when I did the uplift!!!

it even comes with high praise

All the riders loved the track and were really impressed with the venue. Aaron Gwin described the the track as “sick” and compared it to a steeper version of the Andorra World Cup track.
