Afan Skyline route
Skyline
Distance: 46km Climb: 2000m Time: 5 - 7 hours
Start: Glyncorrwg Mountain Bike Centre Overall grade: red/difficult
The trail starts at Glyncorrwg Mountain Bike Centre.
Skyline is a giant of a ride. Ensure you and your equipment are fully prepared for an epic skyline ride.
Sharing the same sheep-track ascent as White’s Level and continuing on long, forest road climbs with sweet, flowing technical singletrack descents you will be treated to stunning skyline views of Brecon Beacons, the Preselis, the Black Mountains and the South Wales coast.
This route will test your stamina and your nerve, with technical singletrack such as the ‘On the Edge’ and ‘Excalibur’ sections. Your reward will be out-stretched views and a nerve-tingling, rocky, 6km singletrack descent back into Glyncorrwg. There are also 2 short cut loops built into the trail.
For details of diversions and closures that could affect this trail visit the mountain bike trails information section.
