Anyone done Climachx in Machynlleth?

Stu 74

Thinking of tackling this for the first time in a couple of weeks. Anyone done it? How does it compare to C Y B, Penmachno etc in terms of technical difficulty and fun factor?

Cheers

Did this a few months ago,

Fair amount of fireroad climbing mixed in between sections.

I would say that apart from the odd section that CYB is technically more difficult but this does have a nice long downhill section at the end but whether or not it was me I just couldnt get my flow going on it...ahhhh yeahhh lets just assume it was me!

I still came away happy so I guess that says something!

Deffinatly worth a visit, or finding the "trail centre" will be hard if you havn't been before, just a dirt track, with no cafe or shops or any buildings lol.

The trail i think is as good as anything at Coedy. Very flowing and fast! I didn't think there to be "that" much climbing, certainly none of the climbing was hard. Just a quick fast route.

Not worth travelling to just that, include Coedy too

It's really good, if a little short.

You could just as easily combine a trip there with one to Nant yr Arian - which has an excellent long black route.

We did exactly the routes recommended above, the Syfydrin trail on Saturday and Cli-MachX on Sunday. Both fantastic experiences, well worth doing. Climachx has an excellent single track finish, very fast into a technical rock section in the forest. Legs were a bit heavy after Syfydrin but excellent all in all
