Grin inducing descents
Visited here with a relative novice, slightly worried that the Blue was going to be too much. Needless to say it wasn't. Well sign-posted trails, with plenty of options for linking up the green, blue, red and black. It is impossible to get lost here and the trail maps on the MB Wales website are excellent if you're worried.
This trail is definitely in the middle of nowhere, but that adds to its appeal. There's a great pub in Abergorlech for afters, but that was about the only eatery we stumbled on when we visited mid-week.
The trails themselves are very weatherproof and are excellently designed. The green descent back to the carpark probably ranks as one of my favourites anywhere in the country for just sheer fun!
I can't comment on the red/black as I haven't done them (yet), but the green and blue made a great loop for a novice, and the "experienced" rider left with a grin too. I'll be returning.

All weather trails
Good signposting
Great descents

Raven - In my top three
The Raven was closed the first time I visited Brechfa and loved doing the Gorlech. Came back maybe 3 years alter and rode the Raven with some IBIKERide buddies and she took my breath away. Loved her. Well worth the trip and now sits in my all time top three trails.
