Hi brij
I've done it with a mate who helped push on and it took us an hour, a different mate = an hour and a half.
If you do it too quick, chill in the cafe then do it again later

do you mean the fire road climb that goes up drops down slightly and then up again or the loose stony bridle path just before the single track bit that look over the lakes?

i dont mind that climb over the lakes! its not a bad course when you fancy something man made instead of the peaks. I've rode it a few times recently so it tends to get a bit boring when you do that...

We're going to visit my grandad in 2 or 3 weeks (he lives just outside Chester), and I was going to ask if anyone fancied a thrash 'round Llandegla... It looks like fun.

FTD takes about 50 minutes now that they've shortend it, still worth doing every once in a while but I O'D'd on it last year so have only done it 2 or 3 times this year.
Llandegala's great but it does feel very manmade, very well manmade but predictable all the same. Oh, and I'm cr4p at the jumps 
Could this be an open invite to have a forum meet up in Llandegla in July CG??

i'd be up for that cg.
they have opened some new track but its not on the black run  its just after the veiw of snowdon
there looks like some really sweet parts still to be opened
it takes about 1 hour if you really thrash it or about 1hour 30 if you go nice and steady

Why is it that I always get stuck behind someone who stops on the long log bridge over the swampy bit??
I end up having to track stand until they topple over and fall in

dont take the fire road, carry on past it and turn right up a singletrack at the end of the tree line about 50 yrds before the road
you cant see the climb so it doesn't seem so bad
