Hi

>but the Penmachno trail is very near

Did it yesterday, we really liked the flow, and techical sections seem to get a more exciting as you progress through the route. I like the nr flatness of some of the singletrack sections too.

If you are confident there is some air to be had later on, trouble was I was confident but not skillful, took jumps but failed to control handlebars whilst in the air, nearly crashing with landing.

great fun - especially the switchbacks section near the end!

We gave it 8 out of 10 and thoroughly recomment a visit, you will definately have a smile on your face (if you haven't crashed)

It's 10 minutes from Betsy, and 2 hours was plenty of time.

Probably not for beginners.
