Not too keen on sanitised?

Try [url= http://www.trailguru.co.uk/garw-valley-mountain-bike-trails ]Blaengarw[/url] - nice & rocky. Short, but tough. Ends in nice bermy swoopiness, but is a good mix.

If you don't want DH, jumppy stuff then don't go to BPW. Thats pretty much the whole point of it. The climb up is also a very boring wide fireroad.

Afan and Cwm Carn are great though. Afan has The Wall, Whites level, Blade, Skyline. Cwm Carn has two XC trails. All of them are good XC fun and are not smooth gravel roads.

Natural trails abound in the Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons!

Bang for buck you want to go to Brechfa to be honest.
