After a long thought i decided to go to Penmachno for the day and the weather was glorious. the carpark was rather empty at 1100 with only a few riders out but sadly the first part of the uphill was closed so i had to follow the diversion signs along the forest road that went on forever, so on the map www.dilan4.com/beics/lluniau/dolen1.jpg you go past 42/41 then to the x-road 29/28 turn right and head to 3/4 so its a long way round. The trail was wet in places but for the first time i decided to do Loop 2 and well i must admit i enjoyed it, it really did feel natural with plenty of water and some of the tracks were well streams but to me it adds to the natural feeling of the place but you can see it doesn't get that much use as some of the track surface was very loose, did it in about 3hrs 45 not great i know but i did have a lot of stops and a fall!!! for this i guess Some shots going round And my bike at the beginning Half way(ish) round The End.

I've only managed to ride Penmachno once (Loop1&2) and I must say I loved it. Those pic's just make me want to get out and ride it again. Great views and super single track.
Hopefully get to ride it again in between the next 2 forum rides. I'll give you a shout and you can show us where you had your off ;D
