According to the Forestry Enterprise website, the W2 trail "....includes two of the most demanding descents in the UK." Is that right?
How does it compare to soemthing like the Dragon's back at CyB, for example?
Thanks

It's a great route.
I rode it again on Saturday. I start at the Wall end which means you can stop for a cuppa or lunch at the better cafe at the bottom of Whites.
Going quickly it's two and a half hours on punishment, or a leisurely six hour group ride. Choice is yours.
The two descents are the final Wall descent and the final Whytes descent. Haven't ridden CYB since the changes but I can vouch for the quality of the W2 descents. Seriously fast.

They are good but certainly not worthy of the "most demanding in UK" tag.

That's going very quickly. I've managed Whites in about 1:15 and I wasn't planning on riding anything else that day.

I've only been to Afan once and did Penhydd and Whites in about 4 hrs. The Whites descent was great fun but the "most demanding" description is a bit OTT.
I had been warned numerous times about how "technical" parts of it were and was quite nervous about it but didn't notice anything too untoward
Don't think either are even the most demanding built trail descents either. Fun and fast I'd say
Both v good descents but hardly the most demanding in the UK.
Presumably the claim was "the most demanding TRAIL CENTRE descents in the UK"?
...otherwise the world's gone mad.
Presumably the claim was "the most demanding TRAIL CENTRE descents in the UK"?
I wouldn't even put them in that category.
Didnt say I did either, was just checking for at least a reasonable amount of sanity in that claim, not trail centre "double black" nonsense
not exactly the most demanding but they're good fun and definitely worth having a go at.
I start at the glyncorrwg end. don't have that minging fireroad back up to the centre. take some sarnies and stop mid way up the wall fireroad climb to break it up. can't wait to do it again.
I did Whites & the Wall a few weeks back but not the W2, I did them separate with some grub in between, does the Parsons link still get very muddy?
yep the link is v muddy at times but its not too long.
I did it a couple of months back. Started at The Wall and stopped for lunch at glyncorwg.
Big mistake - scrambled eggs before the whites climb is messy.
