going there with a mate, on tuesday, he has FS, i have HT

i can do the red at llandegla, ok-ish, and find the black ( berms/jumps) hard, walk some of them


which trail at Coed y brenin, would be a good one to start from, ( rather start at a red one tho)

    I did the MBR today, and ony fell off twice, down some stone step things.

    We didn't think it was long enough and would do the tarw instead nxt time

    Do the MBR.

    I did the MBR and the TARW back to back when i went but i much preferred the MBR, i thought the TARW had a bit too much fire road.

    You will find coed-y-brenin a tatally different world to llandegla, its much rockier and more technical.

    Tarw is a killer if you are a novice...me and the hubby did it last year, he got heatstroke and i got piddled off with all the fire road climbing !!!!
