ok

Review:
Their is way too much uphill, for the amount of dh u come down! the dh is very rocky so u cant get any speed! Also the last bit of uphill takes ages u just ride round on a tarmac road for no reason then u finally get back on the trail and the end dh bit is ok! wouldnt recomend travelling hours for it unless you have the stamina!

Summary:
Needs more Singletrack

Review:
When you got off the fireroad there were of lots of fun technical trails. I did it on a 6in full suss and when you go fast the trails seemed to flow, any slower and they didn't seem to work. Someone riding with me, who is a lot faster and stronger, on a hard tail couldn't keep up. This is why a lot of people, him included, don't like this trail.
Realy to ride it fast and have fun on the singletrack you need a freeride bike with a lot of travel. With a bike like this the hills aren't rideable.
In general this is a good track for anyone who rides downhill to just push up and ride down.
Lastly, they need to do some weeding if it rains your legs get soaked.

Summary:
Boring!

Review:
A long, long slog up forestry roads, a few short sections of slow single track, then roll all the way back down on forestry roads. Last 2 sections were not bad, but not worth all the hard slog. Not a patch on the other routes in Coed y Brenin. I went round part of MBR afterwards just to get some proper moutainbiking in.

Great scenery

Review:
This is a really non-technical trail as the difficulty rating in the info suggests. This makes it a great ride for new comers to the sport or families. That said it also makes a great warm up for more advanced riders before heading for one of the more serious trails. Watch the speed though there are walkers on large parts of this route.
