Heading to Cwmcarn for the first time in a couple of years. Is everything open now?

Car park and visitor centre / cafe yes. You need coins to park - £3 all day. Bike shop there is sometimes open.

Both red trails plus pedal hounds and the black downhill are in use - and some of the off piste has been made sort of official.

I don’t think the new ish blue is officially open - it seemed to be open during some of Covid years then it was announced it had never officially opened and was awaiting signage. A few weeks ago there was a fence across the start and a closed sign. But the blue is only a 15 mins flow loop really.

There's also an extra loop to the Twrch that brings you back across the hill and back to the top of the Airstream sections.  I took it by mistake last weekend and it added a few km, a lot of which was unexpected uphill that my legs didn't appreciate.  Adds 20-30 mins onto that loop.

Was soggy last Sunday...
