I've never ridden at swansea. I find rating systems are pretty subjective and tend to be on the cautious side. Last year I spent a week in bend Oregon. Every magazine says how amazing the riding is. They had trail ratings. I rode the black diamonds with a hard tail single speed. There where people with 6 inch travel bikes riding the same stuff. I'm not a great rider, their system was out to lunch. I guess riding in our backyard of Kananaskis makes everything else seem easier.
I did the along the Shlong trail near lillian lake and it was doable with a hard tail. Actually I think it's called the Johnson.
