Gar,
Its Rhyd y Felin and it is a privately owned forest and therefore access is prohibited and you can only ride during organised events.

No not yet oggy. Ive been keeping an eye on their web for up lift days. Missed the last two due to work. Have you been there? Can u ride on none uplift days? How much of a mission is it to the top with a heavy dh bike?

Here's a pic of me doing a cross country race at Rhyd-Y-Felin in Feb. Won my class that day. ;D Really gnarly, rocky venue. I recognised it in one of MBUK's dvd's. ;D

Never been there mate, but would go over for a sniff around, think you can turn up and ride when ever you like and from what i gather you can do your own up lifts on the fire roads but dont quote me on that.

nice1. i's love to give moto x a go. where do you go around n.wales? I used to do a lot of Club motoX and cross country events but the places to practice are drying up quickly mate. Got a bit pis*ed off with it in the end and bought myself another Sportsbike. Knees couldn't hack it anymore anyway. I'd love to recommend giving it a go mate but it's just too expensive with too few venues around here I'm afraid.

Gar, Its Rhyd y Felin and it is a privately owned forest and therefore access is prohibited and you can only ride during organised events. Does it happen to form part of the WOR MTB race on 23 November? This is just outside Bala, checkout the thread 'WOR hare and scrambles' under 'General Chat'. If it is part of that race, I'm definately entering !! ;D
