Walking Trails at Coed Y Brenin
Details
MBR (black severe grade) Moutain Biking Trail (11.43 miles, 18.4 kilometres).
This is a challenging trail throughout offering some sweeping descents like 'Bugsy' and 'Pink Heifer' as well as Coed y Brenin's most demanding stone pitched 'Badger' and 'Beginning of the End' and natural sections like 'Cain'. Now also featuring the rebuilt and modernised 'Abel' with a series of fly offs to test your skill.
'Falseteeth' has been given a makeover and been brought right up to date with cutting edge design and quality construction. Now featuring the 'Cavity', the largest technical trail feature at Coed Y Brenin.
This trail is a real favourite; it’s got a great mix of classic CyB rocky gnarlyness, fast, flowing singletrack, new and contemporary features and sections to bring it up to date with modern riding styles.
You’ll be riding over bedrock, negotiating loose, rocky, climbs and descents, swooping round berms, finding a rhythm over huge rollers, flying down steps, dropping into the 'Cavity' and
getting spat out the exit with as much style as you can muster! It’s a blast that puts a big grin on your muddy face!
This trail is severe with unavoidable flyoffs and while you can roll down them all, you might want to ask yourself if your skills are up to it.
More information in relation to whether or not this is suitable for you and where you can get training can be found on the Natural Resources Wales website.
