Reviews for Afan Forest Park Trail Centre

Summary:
OK if you can hack the trail road climbs

Review:
The trail starts with a very long uphill slog on fire roads which sadly detracts from the whole experience. The down hill is very good but it's an effort to get there.

Crackin Trail

Review:
Did the Wall trail on Sunday 4 Jul 10. What a trail. The climb is a bit of a slog but you a rewarded with some smashim singletrack decent, espicailly the final decent. The route however gets a bit slippery afetr a bit of rain as it did on sunday, but overall a great day out. The route was shortened on sunday as there had been a landslip so was only 17km long, but all the same a great ride.

Summary:
Excellent

Review:
We travelled 8 hours in the car to do this trail and it was completely worth it. Coming from 7 stane territory I cant help making the comparison when i try a new trail, this trail has the same grin factor as Innerleithen and what makes it extra special is that you dont feel like you have the killer climb to get the fruit. True enough you can easily miss either of the half way trail centre stop offs but even if you do venture to them its not the end of the world and certainly doesn't spoil anything.
I dont think I can fault this trail we loved every minute of it. i suppose if i had anything negative to say it would be that i live so far away from it....damn goegraphy!!!

Rubbish!

Review:
We set off at 5am from the midlands to take on the mighty skyline...having read the reviews, we were so looking forward to it....
On arrival, facilties were good, we got changed and head off to what we thought was going be an Epic ride...BOY were we wrong!
I have never climbed so much to be rewarded with such little desent...:(...fire road after fire after fire road....TOILET

Coming from riding the Dragons Back and Beast at coed y brenin (on a regular basis), there really is no contest.....
2/3 of the way in, we were so bored...only the plus for me was the last 6km decent and the rating of 2 is for that only.

Advice, take a trip to Coed y brenin and see how trails should be :)

Apologies for such a negative review, but it really was disappointing.

Summary:
Top trail, nice climbs

Review:
Liked this, I hate single track climbs, I just want them to be easy, so the fact that most of the climbs on this one were on fire roads went down well.

Lovely fast descents down the side of the valley, very good fun. I did the White's level trail at the same centre the next day, this was better in my opinion, however I did do it at 8'ok clock at night, so literally had the run of the forest.
