Anyone been in the last week or so?

I'm thinking of going this weekend, how are the XC trails as last I heard one of them was pretty cut up and very wet?

I've never known twrch to get too bad. Dunno about the blue trail though.

Cafall was very wet and sloppy when it was new, but that's a good while ago now, that said it was designed to be more like a homebrew trail in parts than a completely trail centre feel so it does have loose bits, some mud (when in season) and roots and such.

Twrch was largely close for about a year, but it's 90% open now and riding beautifully.

There's an Enduro on there this weekend so will be busy and probably some closures on Sunday

Trails should be OK I reckon

<Stealth edit mode> As above, the Gravity Enduro train is in town Sunday, so Cafell will be closed off. Chances are the carpark will also be rammed. I'm heading to Afan or BPW instead.

Did the Cafall trail on Sunday and it was nice and dry

Heading there on Saturday, will there be closures in place then?

I'd do the Twrch first. The climb is more technical and for me at least, I need fresh legs to have any chance of clearing it.

Cafall first, the final descent is better and you'll enjoy it more if your less tired, the last bit of twrch is quite tame these days

Shouldn't be, they may be taping the route out though.
