I've got pretty good idea what to expect of Brechfa, but would anybody like to suggest some accommodation ideas and so-on? Is there a pub nearby, how does the land lie? I note that Drop Off is now open - how's that going?
Also, camper van is an option for us - any suitable sites?
Whatever do I need to know, basically.
Ta.
No? Anyone want to share?
Think there is a bunk house just up the road but not 100% as I've only been there on a day trip. Would be interested to find out myself as thinking of a weekend up there in the summer.
The Raven Trail is awesome btw, loved every minute of it 🙂
The Raven trail is brilliant - despite being stuck behind some brake dragging buffoon. Oh hi Si - didnt see you there 😆
top trails
pretty sure I remember there being a pub very near the car park for the Red, certainly near one of the car parks
nice B&B down the road in the village

Nice place, they can cook dinner and even have a licensed bar 8)
we had a couple of breakages on day 1, saddle bolt and front mech bolt snapped
the owner got up and came out in the freezing cold (Dec 28th) and helped to fix them both with some bolts he had in the garage.
could ask for more tbh
oh and the local pub at the other end of the trail is the Black Sheep I think.
They have a Bunk house or something that they mentioned when we were in for lunch one day
Thanks chaps - keep them coming. I can feel a good lads' weekend coming on.
Done Brechfa once, in the snow and it was a fantastic. Linked the Raven and Gorlech, which meant some savage climbing, but the descents are massive fun, full of jumps and big, beautiful berms 😀
The Drop Off bus is basic, but they have cake and tea and friendly banter, which is all that matters! No other facilities there, bar 2 porta-loos.
RepacK, thanks for that link.
Starting from the car park with the Raven and Derwen is best. Gorlech is signposted from halfway round the Raven making the pair a nice big figure of 8 ride. When you're suitably shagged, you're in the right car park to have a razz round the Derwen.

What's the accommodation like there Diane? I'm looking to do a few days in Brechfa with some mates this spring...

No sure how you would know Chard, you were behind Brooker falling off all the time, and we know what that means..... You is slow 😉 😆
