Eyup, So we were supposed to be at BPW tomorrow but they've closed it due to the forecast wind.

Any other options for good S wales riding that would be wind proof ish?

We did Barry sidings last year (which was great) and also got recommended Risca.

However they're all in the woods so it may be a bit dodgy.

Any other ideas / advice?

cheers!!!!

If you choose to ignore the weather warning, Risca Bike Park is a good visit, would recommend.ย

Afan masts? They've cut down most of the trees. If the wind is coming in from the south west the side of the hill without the trees faces north east... I'm not sure if that's going to make a different though.ย

I think I'd rather be in the trees than getting blown off the trail in the open, if it's really windy.

Barry Sidings felt a bit more sheltered than Risca IMO.ย

Thanks that's just the kind of info I'm afterย 

Just to be clear we'll be keeping tabs on what the wind is doing and if too bad sacking it off and going to the pub probably!
