Whilst I was down in south Wales, I wanted to hit some of the locations that I had previously ignored. Barry Sidings was one of those places. As far as I'm aware, all the trails are hand cut and very much on the enduro end of the scale.

One of the stand outs of riding here is definitely the trail surface in places, which is genuinely coal! The local area is well known for coal mining, but it's still weird to see coal as a trail surface.
