Welsh Country Magazine

“MBR's own Tommy Hutton has put together 20 of the best routes Wales can offer (plus one bonus trail on the border), for his debut as a [MTB] book scribbler. And as you'd expect if you're familiar with his work for MBR, maps of the trails come courtesy of Ordnance Survey, plus there's the usual directions and detail to make sure you don't stray.”

Guidebook of the month, MBR Magazine

“Another month, and another brilliant mountain bike guide from Vertebrate Publishing. Wales Mountain Biking is the latest addition to what is rapidly becoming the definitive series of British MB guidebooks.”
