Media Reviews
The book is beautifully designed and, uniquely, is fully bi-lingual with route descriptions and directions in both English and Welsh. Route directions are brief but clear and the routes are profiled as well so that you can see what you're letting yourself in for. An estimation of the route difficulty is also given as well as a 3D route profile. Unlike some other route guides, the routes are properly mapped - not using Ordnance Survey mapping but instead the cute maps that the Forestry Commission use on their leaflets, complete with smiley faces for descents and sad faces for uphills. All in all, this book is highly recommended. In fact, with the quality of the maps and the design of the book it really sets the benchmark by which others will be judged. MTBWales.Com
