    Me and a friend did the full 2 loops combined in sep '22 and part of the board walk on the upper loop literally collapsed from under us hahaha, was only a short drop but bloody hell woke us up half way through a hefty ride, love this place absolute gem, don't forget to donate to the cause at the parking spot 👍

    Rode this in about 2009 - it was ace back then. Somewhere around 5:49, I had quite a spectacular off, getting blinded by the sun, missing a feature and going for a trip over the bars. Good memories. Subbed.

    Great video! There are some great Airbnbs just a few miles down the road in Cwm Penmachno. There’s also a giant old quarry down there that’s worth exploring.

    Was a regular trial I'd take time out to ride a few times a year...never gets boring...always be prepared for bad weather on Machno as is could be sunny in other valley's yet raining there.. also very sketchy mobile signal if riding solo and even in the middle of an extended drought part's of the trail are always wet😂

    Great review and one which I totally agree with. I've ridden trail centres all over the country but this place is easily the best imo. There's a section towards the end called Benddigedig which is comparable to some of the off piste stuff in Dyfi- really fast, technical, loads of different lines, mega fun. I did the much hyped Glentress red a few weeks ago, not even remotely as good as Penmachno. If you're in the area I recommend also doing Dragon's back at Coed Y Brenin, there's some sections of singletrack towards the back end of the forest that are sublime.

    That first climb from the car park is a drag, worth taking your time over it so you’re not blown-up early on. The rest is a scream, it’s my local but happy to share😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

      The whole trail is submerged most of the year. I ve ridden it since it opened . Would nt bother again tbh .

      The scenery is amazing and the descents are the best I've ridden at any trail centre. I live a long way away but have been 3 times this year, there are puddles in places but they add to the fun imo.
