Tree felling work around Snap, Crackle and Pop at Coed y Brenin Forest Park will mean that the Red Bull and Sport routes will be closed on weekdays from Monday 17 November. The work should take three weeks, with the trails reopening shortly afterwards.

There’s also a planned closure of the trails (and a diversion to the Karrimor trail) in late January while trees are thinned along the Heart of Darkness section.

CyB MTB Ranger Mark Mortimer says that all work will be finished quicker if riders observe the signs and stay out of working areas.
