Rhyd ddu forest

[gar]

Went with my gf and the dogs to rhyd ddu forest today thinking it was an easy fire rd trail for them. At the top i found a really awsome single dh track, which is quite technical (especially in the wet), and quite long and very fast.
I was well impressed! Though gf wasnt! Well worth a visit. On a dry day i d say you could get some searious speed down there!
Any one else been here or know of any more s/ track in the forest?
It s some where i definately have 2 explore in the near future.

Used to be my old stomping ground as i grew up in Beddgelert. Only used to do fire roads there mainly but there are some nice tracks like the one you mentioned. I don't remember areas that well but i think there were some nice tracks around Llyn Llywelyn and some leading upto/from Cwm Pennant at the very top of the forestry, think it might be called Cwm Du. Check out first Bikefax book, the forestry gets a mention in there. They used to use Begel Forestry for NEMBA championship stages back in the early mtb days

That s it. There was a sign post just b 4 with cwm du on it. It s a good 1.
I was pleasantly surprised 2 day!

Lemme know next time you go for a scout, i'm sure there's a decent ride to be had there!

I think so 2. Ive not been there b 4 today thinking it was 4 families. That s why i thought it would be a good place 2 go with gf and dogs.
Definately worth a scout as i was well impressed with that section i found.
Iawn dyl we ll arange something very soon. Nice 1.

Yea mate used to race there years ago. There are some pretty good circuits and a few good singletracks as I recall and a good technical descent down a rocky riverbed, which can be ridden up as a tech climb. The forest is relatively small though so you need to do a few circuits to get some decent mileage in which is why I think I've not been there for a while. Good for a change once in a while though.

the one down the river bed was the one i found.
