Sugar Loaf Abergavenny

Silversladey

Anybody ridden it ?

Went exploring today as part of a long ride, but due to poor navigational skills and low mist I couldn't find any kind of loop.

So if anybody's ridden it or better still would like to give me the guided tour post on here

Cheers

Paul

Yes, a long time ago.

No, you're too fit!!!!

Silversladey

Pretty Please !!!!

I thought I was going to die up there today its a vast mountain, have you heard about a downhill centre in the Black Mountains might be some trails worth a look

welshkev

Yeah it's definitely a big old area. Me and my dad used to go walking up there so I had a fair idea of where I was going.

Yeah that new centre is just down behind the skirrid pub. Looks good

Funny - was thinking about Sugarloaf a while ago, and messed around with some ideas on Bikehike.co.uk - this should just about work; it's quite short, but hard work, I reckon, and you'll probably get lost if you try to follow it, which adds both to the length and the sense of adventure

Thankyou very much, will wait until the weather is right and give it a try

Assuming from Kev's familiarity that you're the HalfwayUp Sladey, then you might want to have a chat with Marcus - if there's a cross-country ride worth doing round here, he's generally done it already.

If you're not, you won't have a clue what I'm on about

Silversladey

Thanks for that will get the trail guru Marcus to guide me,

Thanks again
