This is a longer trip around the forest. It’s only a small forest, so its quite tricky to get a decent ride going. This one’s worth a go and ideal for the beginner as it’s mainly forest tracks.
The Route
There’s no easily obtainable trail in this forest. While there are posts, nothing is available on-line about the route.
There’s nothing technical about this one.
This is one we did recently as the forest is so small that it’s a challenge to get anything over 10km in.
Remember that it’s a working forest and there’s a lot of felling going on at the moment, especially around the Cwm Du area.
