not sure what yet, but it's definately going to be mtb.

Thats excellent news. Looks quite likely that three new XC trails and one dh will be built in Blaenau as well.
Were going to be spoilt pretty soon.

Hahaha. Ive been told that a company from scotland finally won the rights to plan and do the work in glyn rhonwy. Judging by the work that s been done on the 7stains and fort bill, it should be a good one.

If the same crewe that are responsible for 7 Stanes are designing these new trails then thatsa big thumbs up from me as they have long flowing trails and excellent build quality, I wonder if Dafydd Davies has had any input on these new projects, crikey we shall be spoilt for choice what a nice delema to be in. Sounds like this forum began at the right time.

The tyre seems pretty good mate, not really had a propper ride on it, most of the snowdon ride was a push up and I didnt really hammer it on the way down being at the back. It rolls nice though. I will see what its like in the wet and grass on sunday. All this news is brilliant, more trails is a thumbs up from me, will have to try and get more info on it. Anyone know the names of the firms running with it? |

Sorry to put the downers on this thread, but I can assure you that any potential MTB use here is a long long way off. What has I think sparked this news is that the masterplan for Glynrhonwy has been agreed, which includes for a potential MTB use, but that is a far cry from one actually being built. No funding or developers in the offing at present. Sorry guys.
This info is from a very reliable source who converses with the bodies involved with this site and the Council on a regular basis. If I hear anything positive at any time, I will post it.
