Bob:
Ok i suppose
Been to BPW a few times now,but not in a hurry to go back.
Changing facilities are non existent,one toilet for everyone.
Uplift is very pedesrian,friendly drivers though.
What could be improved?
Very poor facilities for changing,uplift is mediocre also
Would you recommend?

BPW
100% go and fill your boots :)
What do you like?
As basic or as wild as you want things :)
What could be improved?
The priority uplift is a pain if you pay on the day. I have waited and missed 3 buses in a row before now. There should be a fail safe (maybe at least several places on each uplift for the pay on the day guys.....)
Uplift can be as rough as the ride down (they have been working to repair it though).
Would you recommend?
Yes

Grin factor at max
Gethin. Get on. Get in. Get down.
Oooosh!
What do you like?
Best fun you can have with your clothes on and you can also wave your willy about too so bonus points there. Love this place. For those who hate climbing (Who the feck does?!) and for those who have limited time to get there grins and thrills this place is fabulous. Can't wait to go back once my fitness is back to a fair few notches above wheezing couch potato. And you do have to be fit to ride downhill to get the maximum out of the uplifts.
Crazy fun. Like a skate park for MTBers of all ages. Loads of variety. I dare you not to be grinning at the end of the blue run Sixtapod.
What could be improved?
Extremely busy at weekends (due to its popularity no doubt)
Facilities need expanding for the volume of footfall. More toilets and showers.
Speed up the food service and keep the prices competitive.
Uplift service - stagger or skeleton crew over lunch time. 1 hour downtime completely? Not good when you've paid for a day of uplifts.
Would you recommend?
Yes

Awesome
Hope you will keep on developing BPW, I hear great things are planned. Although it's hard to believe it can get better! Maybe some accommodation in lodges or a campsite would be a good addition???
What do you like?
My best days of the year are spent here - such a treat to ride down the trails all day, love the uplift and the drivers and the cafe and the shower and the bike wash and the views and the log fire and the atmosphere and.................well, everything!
What could be improved?
welsh rain....please organise more sun haha
