"Shame there are no facilities at the trailhesd
..
Penmachno village is losing out big time due to lack of above"
Hmm? Surely if there were a cafe/bike shop/showers/etc etc, there would be no need for anyone to stop in Penmachno village?
Penmachno is great becacause it has no facilities, like Cli-mach X
Cafe? Theres a pub in Penmachno village
Toilets? Take a dump before you leave home/campsite/B&B, pee in the bushes (out of sight of other people)
Showers? Can you not wait until you get home/your campsite/B&B? Or are you really that sweaty?
Bike shop? Theres one just down the road in Betws-y-coed, they hire bikes too
£7 car parking? You can donate that much if you wish
Black runs? Ride it faster, its pretty narrow, it gets more difficult (and more fun)
Blue runs? Ride is a bit slower
Okay there some oversights there, but a lack of facilites shouldn't detract from somewhere to ride your bike
Apart from a bried mention of Sarn Helen and snowdon, I can't believe (well maybe I can) only marked trail centre runs have been mentioned in a thread about North Wales
Theres so much more
