This has to be the most talked about trail at BikePark Wales. This section of red trail may have claimed more punctures than any other trail in Wales but boy is it worth it 1.2Km of sublime rock gardens linked by berms, jumps, rock ladders and step downs, we challenge you not to enjoy this trail.

        Very fun trail with lots of technical rocky sections. Doable on any bike and not just fun on dh bikes (I rode it on a hardtail!)
        CousinAvi
        Probably my favorite trail at BPW.
        It's great fun on a DH bike as you glide over the big rocks. I once rode this on a trail bike and it was still fun but punishing
        SebstarStudios
        very fast, BIG rocks and lots of them, the jumps at the end are big and fun
