"Blackadder starts right at the summit of Myndd Gethin and offers a mixed challenge of jumps, drops and flow before entering the woods and changing charachter entirely. Here you can expect a mix of natural rooty and rocky terrain as well as some berms to keep the speed and flow up. The trail bursts oout of the forest and into a fantastic slab jump before twisting its way to the mid road." - Bike Park Wales
