Not wanting to watch the you no what yesterday. I ventured further east to do some scouting for the "dirty weekend ". Very glad I did, what an awesome place for off road. I used the Llangorse red and Talgarth black routes as a base. (Unfortunatly no pics as someone had changed the settings on my camera) that ll teach me to check it first next time. Ended up clocking 55 miles and 12500 ft of ascent and descent.
The black route does exactly what it says on the tin, very steep and technical, with some lovely single track forest roads rocks and drop offs a plenty. It takes you right to the top of the range down and back up again. The views are breath taking. Once your up on top there are tracks evrywhere far to many for me to explore in one day. I will be going back soon. The weather can close in pretty fast up there and on a couple of occasions did and the winds are strong. Not surprising over 2000 ft. So if your looking for something a bit wild and a change from the trail parks. This could be it.
