"I join this loop at Ystalyfera - that's pronounced 'hastala vera' - and first off it's a steady-away run up the A4067 toward Sennybridge, being mostly 40 and 50mph roads until you clear Abercraf. It's a gentle warm-up on the sweeping climb up to the castle at Craig-y-Nos, then a...

By Colin Overland on 05/11/2003 16:01:00
We set up an imaginary home in Chelmsford, and explore the nooks and crannies of Essex. No, it's not crap. And it's a great place to buy a shed
If you live in Scotland or Wales or the Yorkshire Dales, Essex doesn't have much for you. Compared to the biking paradise on your front doorstep, it's on the busy side. If, however, you live in London or its orbit, a day or two in the land

By Jon Urry on 25/10/2010 10:13:32
It’s one of the best-known off road skills schools in the UK, catering for all levels of ability. But even the BMW off-road school hadn’t witnesseth incompetence of the scale Urry accomplished
