Hafod Trails have just added a new one to the mix – say hello to Mud Life Crisis, a red-graded trail that's already proving popular.

Mud Life Crisis offers a fun blend of tech, jumps and drops, and carries that signature Hafod character.

Hafod Trails launched in Spring 2024 and are based at Hafod Wen on the edge of Brechfa Forest, South Wales. Built on private land, the park is uplift-only, so booking ahead is essential. There's currently no push-up route.

There are seven trails at present, with roughly 100 metres of descent. Expect a range of green, blue, red and black runs, from machine-built sections to hand-cut lines, all with a natural feel.

If you've ridden Hafod and enjoyed it, now’s a good time to cast your vote in the iBikeRide UK MTB Trail of the Year 2025 campaign.
