Don't be fooled: there's a lot of climbing on the black-rated Raven trail at Brechfa and this early section seems like the worst of it!

After the first singletrack, you then cross the river and head up again, this time on a seemingly impossible singletrack — at least it was for us in the wet and mud of winter!

The steep gradient will challenge almost all riders, and we found ourselves hopping off and pushing on the worst sections. Keep your eyes peeled as you hike though, as we found some cows in the woods up here! Not what you'd expect to find usually in woodland.

It's beautifully green and mossy up here, and there are some fun, flatter sections once most of the climbing is done before you hit the descents proper.
