Hi everyone. Planning a trip to Coed Y brenin in a few months time and I've read the short official descriptions of the trails there. What I really want though, are five word (can be shorter) reviews from you guys who have ridden them. Is there a best/worst trail? Are any of them worth missing altogether due to too much fire road and not enough grin factor?
Fun, rocks, flow, laughter, cake.
wet bottom, blind crests, rocks.
Not been for ten years
Crap cafe, too many idiots.
Welsh and wet as promised.
Only trail centre worth riding
Rocky, flowy, fast, ballsy epic.
Technical,hard,challenging,gnarly,excellent
If you do the beast, after the half way tea stop house keep climbing to the top of the very steep road (don't cut right onto the fire road where your meant to as this is just all fire trail up then down and a waste of time) take the 2nd road on the right at the very top (3rd if you count the fire trail your meant to take) go through/past the gate as will lead you to the start of the Gomez descent.
That's more than five words.
😉
Beast blast broke bike 🙂
2000 excellent. 2011 Still excellent.
Not as good as Penmachno.
Nant Yr Arian is better
'r 'n gysefin a 'r anifail
OK, well probably not true any more, post rebuild (I much preferred the good old days of DD's portakabin cafe and wildly unexpected drop offs but that's cos i'm an old git).
stream crossing now sadly missed
Can be more specific if you like, i.e The Beast-Would sell Grandmother to ride, or Temtiwr-Wouldn't touch it with yours!
Forget the MBR trail - shite
----------or
Cut big fireroad loop out
----------or
See what Ruscle said above
----------or
Get a trail map from Centre
----------and
Work it out for yourself
Fantastic. 😆 Too far from home. 🙁
rocks surprisingly grippy when wet
Very fun but pretty knackering.
Rock can tear your sidewalls
No real descents, pretty dull.
Doable on a rigid singlespeed (it IS one word!).
buy a map cader idris
False Teeth - CRASH! - Broken Bike
Pink Heifer is grin inducing
Adams Family runs are ace
Mate crashed in car park
you forget the hard climbs
Tawr trail is garbage. Avoid.
I miss the pink heffer.
The 'original' stuff is better.
No more cheese on toast.
Stuff Cadir do Pont Scethin.
Flow spoilt by pointless boulders
RIDE, Smile and enjoy 😀
Worth a trip i think
Long drive to get there
Road bike not best plan
Gomez descent runied by "sanitisation"
The Climachx is mercifully close
Eschew for Nant yr Arian
Nearby Snowdon has best descent
Don't misunderestimate my intentions here;
No malice intended, per se.
There are just better options;
In my mostly unhumble opinion.
I love riding anywhere, really!
Enough for a weekend
The past is the past.
Far away. Worth the trip.
dull
Really close.Don't go often.
dull
Not as rocky as
People usually make out
Pretty good fun though
Full of mincers who can't ride. The trails are also easy, that or I've ridden them one to many times.
I prefer Llandegla and Cannock.
avoid pointless loop after cafe
Technical,hard,challenging,gnarly,excellent
😆 LOL.....my brother rode the red bull run when he was 7.
The centre was harder 15 years ago as well. I'd call it technical, not gnarly. That's reserved for proper downhill tracks not trails used mostly by 40 year old mincers.
highclimber gives some good advice
Can't wait going in May
