Good shout @welshfarmer
I'd go for Abergavenny or Crickhowell anytime, despite the influx of gentrification. The Black mountains and surrounds are one of my favourite places - great riding to be had and a stunning place.
Göteborg is good, but you know. Brexit put paid to that…
(and i don’t even live there)
100% agree, the trails are excellent bedrock nadgeriness 10 minutes ride from the door, and it is lively well connected and loads of jobs. But obviously not in the UK... Also I missed riding anything bikepark-ey when I was there
Those stirling vids look very tempting.
On topic for me as it's my turn to choose the next move. Anywhere within 45 mins of west Edinburgh. My priorities have changed a lot, and out the door is right up there. I had assumed options would be mostly pentlands or there abouts, but perhaps stirling is in range.
You say north of stirling, but any tips for nice quiet villages perhaps slightly south ?
Edit: sorry apparently don't know how to quote!
