Tirpentwys Mountain Bike Trails in South Wales face being bulldozed unless the volunteer-run C.I.C. can raise a final £3,500 by 31st December to cover planning and survey costs.

Started by Ryan Bullimore and kept alive by the community, the trails have become a much-loved riding spot near Pontypool. You can support the campaign on GoFundMe.
Facebook page update 20th September:
WE DID IT! Tirpentwys is SAFE! (For Now)
From the very bottom of our hearts, thank you. Thank you to every single person who donated, who shared our plea, and who sent messages of support. We have been left completely speechless.
Because of you, we have absolutely SMASHED our fundraising target. We are utterly blown away by your support and generosity. This means that Tirpentwys Trails C.I.C. will NOT have to close down this year. The threat of immediate bankruptcy has gone, and our operations into next year has been secured.
We know for a fact that Ryan would be so incredibly stoked if he could see the community that has rallied around the trails he poured his heart into. To know that his passion has had such an impact on so many people is the greatest tribute we could ever imagine.
Your generosity means we are still in the fight. This victory gives us the security we need to continue our work to get full planning permission and remove the threat of closure for good.
We are more determined than ever to work with our amazing community to keep these trails alive, to support our incredible local riders, and to help make Pontypool a must-visit destination for riders from all over the country.
For now, let's celebrate this incredible win.
You saved the trails.
Thank you.
Jason Bullimore.
