Trail Reviews

Stuart Smith
August 31, 2022, Resolven - Vale of Neath

Alot of gravel firetrack for the first 12km or so, and most of it uphill ! Thereafter a nice mix of singletrack, (bits of the Afan Skyline trail), and natural singletrack particularly on the return leg descending back down to the Neath River
