I am going to be staying at Felindre near Hay-on-Wye over Easter weekend and MrsJay says I can take a bike 😀 - AND she says I can play out all day on the Saturday. I've bought the maps - can anyone suggest a route? I will need to start from the village as I dare not suggest I have the car as well.
Better still anyone fancy a spot of guiding?

That looks excellent - will just have to work out how to get to the start point . . .
Thanks
You don't want to ride in the black Mountains. They're horrible. it's all rubbish.

Doh! secret's out! 😉
Anyone got a link/description on how to get to the start of the Myndd Du DH track in that area?

Glad to be married?
is it very dry up there at the moment? as I know the peat at the top is a very fragile environment, so bikes can actually knacker it up for decades if its gopping up there.

Yup - for 30 years on the 11th! 🙄
Myndd Du DH woo... Its a bike eater in places: loads of ugly loose rocks from what I remember, I wouldn't ride it without a recce. My son did a Dragon practice day there once. The one guy who turned up on a hardtail did one run and went home shaking his head!
any pointers on how to get to the trailhead? or where it finishes? as I don't mind pushing up it

Park up here, push over the stream bridge(West)and theres a stand of trees just ahead. Thats the bottom of the track. I'm not sure what permissions you need. Please don't ride alone or irresponsibly.
cool, thanks I will mark it on my map.
I won't ride it alone or like a loon.
