Reviews for Cwmcarn Mountain Bike Trail Centre

Summary:
Stop Here on your Way To/From Afan/Brechfa

Review:
Rode the trail on 26/05/08, & they've made a few changes to the route, with mixed results. The climb is technical singletrack to about 80% of the way up, with plenty of exposed roots & rocks. This is great fun & a real challenge to get over. The new sections are right at the start (good) & about half way up (not good - smooth & less technical - I hope they're not going to do more of this like they have on the Beast in Coed-y-Brenin). Once you're at the top, take the freeride section - even if you're not into jumps this is much better than the very rocky Twrch at this point. From here there's a mix of climbing/descending on singletrack, which is reasonably technical. You soon come to a point where a hill is infront of you. You're heading left to go most of the way around the hill, when you get out into the open you'll be on a fast sweet descent which eventually hits fireroad. Straight over this (to another good new section) & the final descent is very fast (don't cut the corners), the best of the route.

Summary:
great all round track

Review:
First half is very technical and second half very fast with awesome jumps,drops and berms. Well worth the trip especially with there being a cwmdown uplift service there.

Summary:
