    Hey,

    This is right next to my nans house, in tredegar. Going through it in a car it looks pretty tought to ride with alot of hills and loose bricks. But when i saw it i said to myself this would be awesome to ride.

    I am unsure i am on about the right one here, is trefil quarry round by tredegar and on the way to merthr you take a right hand turn go through a housing estate place and then on to trefil mountain?

    yeah, i'm pretty sure that's the one. just wondered if there was anymore like on the video, whether it was worth taking a trip up there?

    Um not been to the quarry but my dad has told me about it, Trefil mountain looks ok but i would go with someone becuase it is massive and you will get bored and you might get lost :lol: Cwmbran isn't too far from tredegar i dont think as my dads auntie lives there and it takes her half an hour.

    Oh and when you go through tredegar makesure you lock your doors haha,
