Good ain't they, not sure if you've done all the routes, been building / riding there for 15yrs, recently had one trail destroyed however, so kinda trying to keep them quiet ๐Ÿ™‚

I go up the Foel from the baglan side quite often. The trails must be quite well hidden as I've not noticed them.

I did hear a while back that the FC had "removed" some trail features a while back.

Mikey3 - You can get to them From Baglan yes.Head up the Bwlch, go pass the turn off to Cwmafan.After a couple of hundred yards there's a lay-by on the right, and just past there a gate.follow the trail to the top.( its the normal path to the top.) I'll email you specific directions after that.

Colin: Do you have 2 dogs? If its you, then i met you up there the other week by the big drop in.I was moaning about how my seat wouldn't go low enough. ๐Ÿ™‚

If you are trying to keep the trails secret, is posting directions on the net the best idea?

Grum, you could be on top of it and you wouldn't know it was there.
