I hope so as I'm going down on Sunday! I haven't been there for about 6 months and am missing it badly!

I was there 2 weeks ago, It's in good condition at the moment and fairly dry by Penmachno standards... They've had trail pixies clearing shrubbery and pot holes on certain sections... 🙂

Superb cheers for the shout Slonwms. They're great those trail pixies. I'll be sure to drop some cash in the box!

AFTER THE MARIN!!!!! this is my first ride in about a year after breaking my hand and having to sell my bike when I was poor. I've now built up a bike which I'm pretty happy with and REALLY looking forward to penmachno tomorrow; it's one of my favourite trails. I'll most certainly drop some money in the honesty box, I always have done. Thanks for the offer plecostomus.

It is, I thought it would have been a bit drier though. If you saw 3 of us; me pushing up most of the hills and having problems with a red carrera vulcan that was me.

Fantastic yesterday. Wet by trail centre standards but perfectly rideable. Lovely trail. Too long since I last rode. Shows how good it is that I have only good memories despite being caught in horizontal rain in November and when winds on Cadair Idris were reported at 80 mph.

Last ride of the weekend after a day on the Long Mynd and The Beast at CYB.

Great weather and lovely trail.

£2? - thought it worth a fiver plus loose change.
