Afan

Brilliant, Typically ride the W2 (from Glyncorwygg), which is Whites level and Y Wall combined, but cut off at the end and ride the skyline descent, which is better than the final descent of whites level in my opinion. Most of the up hill is singletrack (fire roads are boring) which is rewarding and technical in places and makes the downhill worthwile. The downhill is more flowing single track fun, with the option of jumps and drops thrown in occasionally. The black run on Whites level is alright, and not as hard as people make out; It is puncture central due to the rocks. The Bike park/skills trails opened recently, and is near the 4x track and the Bryn Bettws Lodge (cheap to stay at and good food). The bike park has bits for people of all skills and is fun, the 4X is probably best left to advanced riders. Looking forward to going again.

What do you like?

Good fun, technically challenging trails. Trail centre is good; showers etc good, food at Glyncorwygg the best and Skyline cycles don't rip you off!

What could be improved?

The whole Skyline trail not worth riding due to the numerous trail diversions (that have been going on for years) and ruin its flow, though it is easy to get to the final descent which is the best bit.

Would you recommend?

Yes
