Welcome to my POV trail ride experience of the One Plannet Adventure - Coed Llandegla in northern Wales.
#mtblife #mtb #wales
Every year, I spend a week with my buddy Matt in Wales sampling some familiar and some new trails/bike parks to push our skills and comfort zones to the max! This was the second day of our trail fest was The One Plannet Adventure at Coed Llandegla.
Llandegla, is a total play ground with so much to offer all abilities
It offers a cheap car park at only £5, clean toilets, a well stocked cafe offering hot and clod food/drinks, a well equipped shop and workshop for all your biking requirements.
The trails are very well cared for with beautiful scenery, big climbs, technical climbs/descents and some super fast/epic downhills that will have you whooping and hollering at the top of your voice!
This was my second ride out with my new Garmin Edge 530 GPS device. As you'll see in the video, it has an Incident alarm feature that is designed to instantly alert your emergency contacts with full and detailed information on your location and what they need to do to help you, it really does work!
I’ve attached info for the Llandegla trails below.👇

I rode Llandegla for the first time on Saturday. Certainly very well worth the visit, loved the place... but there was a lot more pretty gruelling climbs along the black route than I'd anticipated. I'm not claiming to be especially fit myself, but I rode with a seasoned MTBer and triathlete and even he found it tough.

Firstly, thank you so much for watching 👍. Secondly, I also felt the same on my first visit! I’ve learned to live climbing over the years and for me it’s definitely a mind over matter experience as the DH is ohhh so worth it 👌. There’s so many amazing venues in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. Stay safe and shred well 🤜🤛

@@UPHILLPHILL I agree totally, the issue is I need to meet the demand with better fitness.. really appreciated the video - super useful to get insight in advance - and I'll definitely be back :) Peace and biscuits!

Great edit! Llandegla isn't everyones cup of tea but ithas a special place in my heart because its where I first started riding. I go back for a nostalgia ride every once in a while

@UPHILLPHILL Жыл бұрын

Totally agree! It's a place that my daughter has learned so much from and loves so much, this has increased her confidence and her skills to take on places like BPW and Cwmcarn. Cheers for watching ✊

When Llandegla first opened there used to be the log northshore and the pallet drop into the burm, awesome riding, we used to night ride around the Forrest before any official trails were built, and the long first climb used to be our downhill finish to the cars!

Wow, sounds like some epic moments and great memories there and night rides are soooo good, they really test your skill’s to the max, even on familiar terrain. Thanks for watching 🤜🤛

Hi Phill, great vid! Look more like the black trail are more like red? Also rideable for non-pro's as long as the reduce speed a little so they don't get massive airtime?

@UPHILLPHILL 23 күн бұрын

I suppose it’s all dependent on the type of black graded trails you’re used to? If I compare them with Dyfi, then absolutely, they’re more like a solid red. Black isn’t always about the amount or level of ‘gnar’, sometimes it’s simply a solid/long red with plenty of features. Personally, red, or black, they’re huge fun and always plant a massive smile on my face 😁. Thanks for watching🤜🤛. Stay safe and shred well 🤘

Hi mate. Considering Llangdegla next year. I’m more into flowy and techy singletrack, looking at the black sections they seen more jump based. Would I be better sticking to the reds? Great vids by the way, you’ve made my mind up to def ride the Marin trail (Gwydir Mawr) as soon as I can!

@UPHILLPHILL Жыл бұрын

Hey Mike 👋. The reds are just as much fun, not quite as jumpy but tbh the blacks are great progression for jumps and handling speed. If you like techy trails, look out for my next video’s which are the Tarw du (Black bull) at coed y brenin and Dyfi Bike park, which is just epic. Thanks so much for watching👍

Hi, great video Phil. We are going to OPA on friday for the first time, will i be able to complete both red and black trails in a day? Fitness shouldn't be an issue.🤔

@UPHILLPHILL 11 ай бұрын

Cheers Scott, pleased you enjoyed it 🤜🤛. If your fitness is good I’d suggest red in the morning, treat yourself to some nosh at the café and fuel up for the black in the afternoon. It’ll be a challenge and quite tiring but one hell of a day, enjoy dude 🤘

These trails look great! What GoPro were you using on the front as it did a great job capturing rock steady video!

@UPHILLPHILL Жыл бұрын

Thanks so much 👍. I use the Hero9 black mounted on my chest harness (when wearing my TLD A3 lid and chin mounted on my TLD Stage FF as in the Dyfi videos) and the rear view is from my Hero8 Black that’s rear mounted on my helmet. Make sure you get over to Llandegla as the trails are better than they look on the video 🤟🤜🤛

@@UPHILLPHILL I went for the first time last October and did the blue trail, my first experience of catching air and I loved it. Not sure of where I was but there was a long fast downhill section which I loved as well. Anyway I want to try the red next, it’s just the climbs!

@UPHILLPHILL Жыл бұрын

It’s an incredible feeling for sure 👌. Those reds are awesome and yes, the climbing is a little tough but it’s absolutely worth every second of each climb. Your face will hurt from all the grinning and whooping you’ll be doing 😝. Have a great time when you go👍. Stay safe and shred well 🤜🤛
