Quantocks, Cardif to Cwmncarn total now 113.8 miles

2 ace days on the Quantocks reliving the trails and remembering the ones that no longer exist, either due to neglect or wopping big trees that have grown. lots of ice, fast frozen trails and a huge grin factor.

Next a trip from Cardiff over some big hills to Cwmncarn. Richard showed me his hme trails which put any sinbgletrack the South Downs have to offer to shame. On arrival at Cwmncarn, there were only a few clues to what was in store for us. the higher we climbed, the more snow we saw. up top it was still laying thick, but was days old. where this was compacted, it became a bob sleigh run rathern than a mtb track.

The trip home was uneventful mainly due to the easy route taken to help with my fatigue and the fact that my frony brake completly stopped working at the top of the Cwmncarn, fully rigid decending there with only a rear brake was interesting....
