Uphill Gravel Road in Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Landscape

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The clue is in the name – this is a long uphill to get to the top of the trails. It's not particularly steep but does go on a bit, so save your beans for the downhills! Take your time to take in the views from this gravel road across the nearby hills.

The Dark Side Trail

Highlight • MTB Park

This is a stonking finale to a great ride. unlock all the suspension you have & hoon it! This is a fast run with table tops where you will take air , an off camber bend followed by a speed sapping little climb midway taking you straight into a choice of drop in or chicken run for the final run. Though hugely enjoyable for the more experienced this run can also be enjoyed by those who just want to role it. Word of warning , when this section first opened an Ambulance seemed to be permanently camped at the end of the trail due to the number off's & injuries. These were mainly incurred on the first table top as the trail encourages you to pick up speed & by the time you realise your ability doesn't your current speed you hit the first jump & basically go interstellar. Net result a very heavy impact. Just remember it's not taking air that hurts it's the crash landing!😉👍😎 Enjoy , it's one of my favourites 🤙
