Been riding my gravel bike around the Cwmcarn valley, where the Twrch and Cafall trails are on each side.
The scenic drive there has been closed for the past 5 years or more due the the forestry commission tackling the Ash dieback.
They must’ve pumped a fair wedge of cash into it to get it ready to reopen in March (now delayed thx Covid) as they’ve resurfaced the 7 miles of Forrest Drive.
It was as I was riding up part of the Forrest Drive I noticed new mtb trails being built.
It branches off from the Twrch trail a little way up from the sharp left turn up the short, steep concrete slope near the Twmbarlwm point (if you know the trail).
It didn’t look like there was much more to do before it’s ready to open. So hopefully sometime this Spring and it’ll be open.
This and the unofficial trails that have been added* make it worth a stop when you’re heading into Wales to other locations.
*such as the one dug from near the start of the Y Mynydd Downhill track
