i follow the afon argoed trails on facebook and they have finally had to close the car parks due to people driving there to ride, i can actually get to the top few trails riding from mine on a dry day ( ie if i can be arsed lol) looking forward to finally trying cwm carn though i have heard really good things about the openness of the mountain ie views etc ?

I've nothing to add to this thread apart from to say I'm quite jealous of all the lovely trails & countryside you guys get to ride in

Personally I prefer the off piste stuff. Pretty steep and technical in places but bloody brilliant. Cafal is the other loop which is good as well. Everything up there is excellent tbf.
