I came here from riding XC and managed the Blues and Reds on a trail bike. Got a lesson from Adrian, which in itself is harder to do than any Double Black and have never looked back. You can do all the routes on All Mountain bikes but will definitely benefit from a full on DH bike. You can ride in most weathers and there is no BS whatsoever. Turn up, ride and ride. I've done 16 runs in a day, there's always an uplift waiting when you get to the bottom. The guys are super friendly and helpful. Great food and big helping for hungry bikers. I've ridden here in rain, snow, sideways gales, searing hot temperatures and hail the takes your skin off, all in one day, but the hill dries quickly and is ready whenever you are.
What do you like?
Best in UK. Great trails. Lots of variety in grades and type. Fast and efficient uplift (BPW take note, your uplift sucks!). Great Cafe. Bud.
What could be improved?
Could be closer to my house. Still can't do the big drop off!
Antur stiniog is an awesome DH park. It caters for all levels and has a super fast uplift. The slate in the area makes for great drainage so even in bad wether can't hinder you. There are great fasilities too. With food, toilets bike store. Even a bike wash. Antur is a must for all mountain bikers.
What could be improved?
There aren't any really. Can get a bit windy at times, in certain spots.
Great place to ride as long as it isn't too windy.
What do you like?
Loads of facilities and variations of riding. Even their own photographer! Great fun every time I've been riding all the lines. Worth the long drive from Bedfordshire hands down. Up there with revolution bike park for sure. Great food and wash facilities, lots of parking.
I Ride at Antur with my 12 year old son ,he loves the buzz on the trails everybody at the center cannot do enough for you they make you feel very welcome and are keen to give you pointers on which trail will suit your abilities best,and you should listen I learnt that lesson pretty quick. The facilities are are excellent clean toilets and shower, bike rack and power wash for the bike after your day on the trails . The cafe and food is excellent very quick and clean and great staff also a large TV to watch some more Downhill just in case you didn't get enough on the mountain. The up lift drivers are a great laugh and full of stories and knowledge get in the front seat and chat away. So in all a great day or weekends venue for Downhill get a day booked and get rippin.
