    Hello Caz , Roo and any in to night
    Went over to llandeg today
    Misty rainy few inches of snow on the ground at the top
    BUT.................................
    The the only thing about the place that i found off putting is that once you've ridden the first 60m the you know what the rest of the ride is going to be like :(

    The grading of the ground and paths does make for some fast riding as they've sanitized the whole trail there isn't anything to look out for.

    the Black trail sections are very ridable by all depending on how fast you want to go.

    at the end of the day i think you will come away from the place with a sence of " I wish it had been more varied to ride upon"

    There are more enjoyable trail centers out there Gisburn is a great example of continuously variable and ultimatly more satisfying riding
    I'm going to blow the bank on a new build ( within reason ) NOW DONE!!

    actully the fact that you could go really fast and the trail was designed to keep you on it and not through you off, a slight berm or banked section here just to throw you in the right direction for for the next camel hump or corner. tis great, espceiallly for those with not a lot of confidence
    there isnt really anything to tricky on there, its a big fun rollercoaster for mtb

    it is different to Gisburn, but at my level of wimpyness I find that I can learn more at Llandegla with regards to berms, handling and speed, at Gisburn I spend more time pooping myself over the rocky bits and roots.
    Coed Y Brenin ans Llandegla are poles apart again, techy stuff and long climbs tht scared the pants off me.
    Llandegla is good gooooooood for the soul :lol:
