Coed y Brenin trail regrading is go!
There have been some questions from riders about the grading of the trails at Coed y Brenin for a while, especially as they've become more heavily armoured and boulder infested to cope with more traffic.
As a result several of the major trails have been upgraded from red to black, while one of the classics gets a red re grade. Here are the exact details from ranger Andy Braund anyway:
"We've updated all of our trail info and revised the grading. The 'Tarw'
and 'MBR'
have been changed from Red/Difficult, to Black/Severe due to the overall rocky severity and technical nature of these trails. The 'Dragon's Back' has now gone from Black/Severe down to Red/Difficult, which is more appropriate.
The other trails remain the same.
We are changing all of our info on the FC website and the new info is up on the boards at the CYB visitor centre tomorow. We'll also be withdrawing all the old leaflets and we're now selling our new packs which contain all of these route maps, grading info, forest code etc in a see through plastic wallet."
We'll have the updated PDFs for Coed y Brenin and Marin up on the site ASAP too, so you can check out exactly what's changed here.
