Reviews for Raven Trail - Brechfa

Summary:
Good sections but poor linking of them.

Review:
After a long trip to get here we wished we had gone a shorter distance and travelled to the whites level in afan or the gorlech trail.
The first section is good as said in the first review^^ but from then on you have a poor climb and some sort of track into a boggy lane which takes you somewhere over the hill into a steep descent.
After this there is a very very long climb which most cannot be ridden of endless fireroad and muddy tracks which have not been surfaced so are mostly un ridable.
We thought we were completely lost as the fireroad went on for ages, and i mean ages. Then eventually you will find a sign and be thankful as these signs don't come around often so treasure the ones you do find.
You will eventually find the jump section which appears in most of the videos. And if i was you i would follow the fireroad from the car park straight up to this section and just session this as it is well built and fun. The rest i felt was a waste of time with 70% of it climbing on fireroads for a few good descents.
Only because of the good work done on the jump section and berms which appears in most of thie videos i will give it a 6/10
The rest of the trail lets the whole place down in my opinion.
