THE latest community news from Coed Y Brenin

Mountain biking

Natural Resources Wales joined forces with its partners to host a mountain biking weekend dedicated to women.

The action-packed ‘Temtiwr’ event, designed to encourage more women to take up mountain biking, was held at Coed y Brenin Forest Park, near Dolgellau.

It offered 60 women the opportunity to improve their mountain biking skills, learn about bike maintenance and socialise with other riders.

Grace Sanderson, visitor centre assistant and assistant mountain bike ranger, Natural Resources Wales said: “Coed y Brenin is one of the most beautiful places in Wales and we are proud to provide so many exciting trails for everyone to enjoy.

Organising an event like this will hopefully encourage more women to get active and give mountain biking a go.

“We’ve had very positive feedback and we hope this will grow and become an annual event.”

The weekend’s activities included mountain bike skills coaching, workshops, guided rides, yoga, and a film showing.
