Many years ago, a country park in a city, providing opportunity to ride, walk, run, climb and for health and well-being was a dream. Enourmous amounts of hard graft by key people (you know who you are), and that dream could soon be realised in full

Useful read for you @trashfreetrails Nice connection to wellbeing and connectness to nature
#Plogging involves going for a run or brisk walk while simultaneously picking up litter and trash.

Day 3 of the #transcambrian as the heat faded and the rain came, the riders cracked on with smiles and resolute commitment. Chapeau! @mtbcymru
The heat is on. The sequel. No Glen Fry here, but exceptional temps, humidity and intense sunshine on day 2 of the #transcambrian Using considered judgement we missed the remote sections and celebrate the best that the #elanvalley has, via puddles and rivers! @mtbcymru
Swap around day so I guided these legends around the Elan Valley whilst @mtbcymru took the other ground of legends on day 3 of the #transcambrian. Hills (up and down), smiles, and no rain, thunder or lightening until the last few minutes 😀
Cross the spine of Wales, the Cambrian Mountains twice in one day is a big ride. Chapeau to all the riders today.
We fortunately missed the heavy today, despite hearing thunder regularly we had the briefest of showers, just enough to create a bike icon!
#transcambrian @mtbcymru
Mountains day of the #transcambrian. Again, the weather was outstanding, as were all the riders whose smiles just kept on coming! @mtbcymru
Wall to wall sunshine on the #transcambrian. A fantastic group even maintained their sense of humour at the 5th puncture! @mtbcymru #mtbleadership #lovetheoutdoors #springsunshine
Spring sunshine and actual warmth (it’s taken a long time to get here this year) on day 1 of the #transcambrian with @mtbcymru
