THE TRAILS

-

TWRCH 18km

A classic red route with a steep, techy climb at the start, the Twrch takes you through woodland up to an open ridgeline. There’s plenty of tight singletrac­k to keep you on your toes and the fun final descent rewards your hard work on the ups.

CAFALL 14km

A favourite of the MBUK team, the Cafall trail begins with a long but interestin­g climb that’s packed with plenty of switchback­s. It ends with a series of riotous descents that have plenty of trail features to keep you smiling.

Y MYNYDD 1.9km

Cwmcarn’s original DH track splits in two in places, giving the choice of an easier 1.7km trail with features that are all rollable if you’re careful and a harder 1.9km run that’s slightly steeper and aimed at more experience­d riders.

PEDALHOUND­S 1.4km

On the opposite side of the hill to Y Mynydd, the newer Pedalhound­s DH track begins with a handmade rooty section but soon picks up speed. There are plenty of drops and tech lines to try out, and a steep jump section to finish.
