Have a word with Daryl the uplift man. He pointed us in the direction of a raft of trails on and around the Cwm Carn hill, and was happy to share info. Last time I went some had been blocked by the FC, but there were several steep DH runs down into Risca that were still open. It's a bit of a slog back to the top of the hill mind, but that's what Daryl's for 8)

Most of the cheeky dh has been blocked by the forestry commision. There's a good loop over Machen mountain bringing you back down to the Sirhowy visitor centre. Also further up the Wattsville and Wylie valley.
I would offer to show you round but I'm at Llangollen DH at the weekend.
