I agree with jam bo

You'll not likely get on the uplift bus for the DH (it's completely booked) and the XC course is ok, but will be packed and prolly not worth that kind of drive.

Agree with the two above. It is a good course but not worth 2 1/2 hours on a bank holiday.

I was going to go (50 minutes) but decided to stick to local trails this weekend.

The XC course is good, but will only take a reasonably fit person an hour.

I'd go to Afan if you're hankering for riding down that way, do Cwmcarn on the way or something.
