I really need to find a trail or trail centre with single track that flows well without major technical sections that slow you down but still including burms and jumps. It needs to be a good length and easy to ride fast, any ideas?? Thanks

Whereabouts are you based? Or anywhere in the country?

Sounds like Llandegla, whole place is like a big BMX track.

Nant Yr Arian doesn't have any techy bits and it's really fun, one of my favourite trail centres and some bits feel quite natural. Not much in the way of jumps though other than little bits you can pump and pop off. Llandegla is average, I probably wouldn't bother riding there again. The jumps are small and there aren't enough of them!

If you go to NyA on a nice day you'll get views like this as well 🙂

To me Llandegla felt a bit like Cannock in that it doesn't offer much in the ways of nice views, a fair bit of climbing for little reward and is just a bit dull to ride. I'm all for smooth/manmade stuff (most of what I ride is jumps/DH runs and skateparks!) but it just didn't do it for me for whatever reason.
