[@gavinkinsella1296]

Marc real this looks bloody ace we have a trip planned in July bpw Friday then Cwmcarn sat this ticks all the boxes, ace riding 🔥

[@marcanthonyreal]

Ace! At Cwmcarn, find Pedalhounds (off the Cafall trail), Y Mynydd, Wacko Jacko, Busy Lizzie and Mayhem. You’ll have a wicked time!

Are these trails anywhere near forest drive camp site or the actual trail center? I'll be going in a couple of weeks, I'm more interested in riding off piste and downhill than trail centers.

[@marcanthonyreal]

Yes…fully accessible from Forest Drive. Park in the normal car park and ask some locas to point you in the direction of the Risca side. A lot of it’s on Trailforks, so easy to find, and you can cycle to the top on the road.

@@marcanthonyreal brilliant 👍 Thanks very much for the reply. I can't wait!

[@marcanthonyreal]

@@prettyjohnshill76 look for Wacko Jacko, Bizzie Lizzie and Mayhem. There are plenty of others, but they’re my favourites

[@prettyjohnshill76]

@@marcanthonyreal will do, cheers Marc.

[@gareythurlow]

@@marcanthonyreal would you say it’s easier to park at the centre and follow forest drive up to the top? I parked by the canal side to the south and the fire road back up after mayhem and jonduro was savage for multiple runs I found 🥵

[@divedaz]

Which one was your fave?

[@marcanthonyreal]

I think it was Mayhem, but the best bit was being free to ride again after all the covid troubles!

[@divedaz]

@@marcanthonyreal Which way did you climb back up to do the others? Mayhem looks great

[@marcanthonyreal]

@@divedaz We followed the fireroad initially which brings you out overlooking the Bristol channel, and then kept climbing until you could see trails branching off everywhere. There was one absolutely mammoth, steep climb to the top of Wacko Jacko and only the eBike lads managed it right to the top without pushing! Have a look on Trailforks and you'll see the fireroad near Busy Lizzie, Mayhem and Jacko.

@@marcanthonyreal It's a plan ive had in my head for a few months, i also have a good ride planed for the other side of the valley
