Campsite extended into another field, booked two pitches today. Space still available. (its beside the practice track, siesta may be a non-starter).

Not this time, though the "chicken" route up just to the right of the wall looked almost rideable for someone of my abilities once you checked it out from the sides. I hasten to add this wasn't on the 1200 ...

We must have just missed you.... we were there Saturday afternoon ..... its easier coming down by the way!
Did you try the whole thing..... including the big climb about 200yards further down .... the one with the step half way up and then the slippery rock face in the top 3rd?
Monster!

Sounds like it, we rode round the Hafren forest on Saturday and did a guided lap of the course on Sunday.

Yeah, though to be honest the snow didn't make it any easier on that rock surface. We all just about got up OK but only cos we left enough room between riders and got a clear run, can't imagine what it must be like in a competition! Here's a pic of my other half near the top, would have loved to get some shots of the step further down but the sleet was driving up the hill and would have soaked the camera in no time, plus it was actually too difficult to walk back down. Brilliant day out!

Mup.

 

[Harv]

We had snow on Saturday lunch time too, real stingy stuff on the fire roads.
Only one of our lot made it up the monster .....
Did you try the log pit and rocks on the road below 'the wall'...?

Hey Harv,

Yeah, we had some good fun on the logs but I didn't dare tackle the rockery. My CRF was stolen the weekend before and the KTM I was borrowing didn't have a bash guard.

Amazing course though, Llanni Enduro Club really excelled themselves.
