really great blast. 4 routs down, easy, intermediate, and the other two are pretty full on especially when it's wet. the easy one's the one in bike fax, and really quite boring. the second one you follow the bike fax rout down to view point. instead of going left to nant peris you go right to wards dinorwig, through the gate. a bit to your right next to a bench you'll see a gate opening and a path. head down here. really fast. up a ashort hill, then right to the t junction, then left. follow the trail down to llanberis. you finish by vivian divers. will make you smile 3 one again follow b.fax then straight down. to the left of view point through the pigs gate. this is awesome all the way down. 4 th one, again you follow b fax down to view point. go right to wards dinorwig. through the gate then instanlt left and down to llanberis. really challenging but great fun. loads of drops and stairs, so be prepared. i'm riding here all of the time. any one fancy it give me a shout. make sure you have decent tyres as the slate chews them up and spits them out!!

There are a few routes in bikefax which are not that good. There is one called Coed y Garnedd near where I live and I couldn't even run it let alone cycle it!

I can get photos nxt time im up there. Ive got contis vertical, the pros. They r 2.3. Great tyres but slate just eats tyres. The contis r the best ive tried. Haven t tried the kings. Let me know how u get on with em. Yea dyl i agree, some of the 1s in bk fax aren t grt. I find a lot of them really boring.
