Details
PENDAM TRAIL - RED GRADE ROUTE
The Pendam Trail (red difficult grade 6.2 miles, 10 kilometres).
The Pendam trail combines sections of the ‘Summit’ and ‘Syfydrin’ trails to give you a taste of the fantastic riding and scenery available. Although it is the shortest route at Nant yr Arian, it includes lots of sweet singletrack and some hard climbs, parts of it are technically challenging so take care.
The Pendam Trail includes sections of public road and tracks shared with horse riders so watch out for other users. Check out the Mountain Bike/Horse Code. Watch out for the weather, remember that it can change rapidly, and some sections of the trail are open and exposed. Please leave gates as you find them.
Overall grade red/difficult
Distance 9km
Time 1 - 2 hours
