Raven Black, climb was mega tough. Elevation as per Endomondo was 8000 feet !but nice fast downs with some monster berms, still i think Afan Whites level was better...

cheers

Yeah both trails share the long climb. Bit more remote too but they're the closest to where my parents live. I don't mind climbing though, worse ones than that in Wales! Spot on with the weather though.

Yeah climbs are all part of it, I see them as a challenge and so far not been beaten by one (yet) :)
