i read an article in this months mag, sounds pretty good up there.

is it worth a trip from south wales?

would a overnight stay be better?

If you have never been before its good, Ive been twice and would go back again. I also did Eastridge trail ctr nearby which was good. You also have slipperstones which is supposed to be good.

Its big and open and windy, good views, classic XC stuff

If you have not been before, then its def worth a visit, IMO.

It's definately worth a visit, plenty to do over two days.

We did a dusk till dawn ride last year that, over 45 miles, did a lot of the good stuff (Hope Bowdler, Caer Caradoc, Long Mynd, Stiperstones and Cordon Hill) but still left miles of trails untouched.

Apparently there's some nice stuff in the forest south of the glider station.

Might pop down there on Sunday morning if I can get away with it (only 20 miles for me).

As said, plenty of other stuff apart form the main Mynd trails. Nick - think i did the same dusk to dawn ride, but the year before when i lived in the area.
