MB Wales says that it will "reopen in the New Year", which by my calendar is now! Just wondering if anyone knew any more than that!

I rode it just before xmas but one part was closed for an unspecified reason. The berms on parts of this course were just stupid silly good.

Thanks snaps. Good to have someone I met on the trails at Brechfa recommending it! Now, where's that blurred pic of me you too? ๐Ÿ˜‰

The Raven is almost fully open, just got back from there tonight, most parts are open but there are a few sections still to complete because logging has delayed the repairs, the last I was told is about 3 weeks.

Nope- I think that that pic is part of the Gorlech trail. Isn't it the superfast chute just before the undulating section that leads into the final berms and drops?

That is indeed on the Gorlech, Ambrose!

I very nearly took snaps out on that corner, as I came back up the other side at warp speed!
