Sustainable Recreation Trails Interview (International)

Daffyd Davis, a trails consultant from Wales, was interviewed by ABC radio while visiting Western Australia in May 2012. The interview covers what makes a successful off-road trail and the economic impact of trails. Daffyd says that recreational mountain biking represents 7% of GDP in Wales.

Daffyd is a former park ranger from Wales, and is known for creating several major UK mountain bike trails on a shoe string budget. His philosophy is about creating the right trails, in the right places, in the right way.
