TRAIL HUNTER EXPLORES THOSE<br />
MUST-DO RIDES THAT SHOULD<br />
BE ON EVERY BRITISH MOUNTAIN<br />
BIKER’S BUCKET LIST.<br />
SNOWDON:<br />
THE PRINCE<br />
OF WALES<br />
Tom Fenton explores one of the ultimate<br />
must-do locations in British mountain<br />
biking. That highest, pointiest bit of Wales<br />
– Mount Snowdon.<br />
WORDS TOM FENTON PHOTOGRAPHY ANDY HEADING<br />
Apparently, an elephant never forgets. And goldfish have<br />
three-second memories. But did you know that tortoises have<br />
turtle recall? [Ba-doom-tish! Pun Ed]<br />
When it comes to bike magazines, people are more like<br />
elephants than goldfish. We remember every article ever<br />
written and constantly accuse magazines of rehashing articles.<br />
But is that fair? Do writers have goldfish memories and a lack<br />
of imagination? Or is it that there are limited places to ride<br />
and relatively limited things to do on bikes?<br />
But where, I hear you ask, is this leading? Well, North<br />
Wales, if you must know, to write about one of the most<br />
‘articled’ rides there is.<br />
