Storm Darragh tore across most of the UK and Wales on December 6 and 7, 2024. Winds reached 96 MPH (154 km/h), knocking out power for millions and causing widespread damage. Dyfi Bike Park was closed during Darragh, with some tracks remaining closed for rebuilding and repair.
One area of the Dyfi Forest was utterly devastated. Tower trees now looked like spilled toothpicks, splintered and jagged across the forest floor.
While many would see the area as a complete lost cause, Gee Atherton saw an opportunity.
His new film, Windfell, documents the storm’s aftermath, the build, and riding the new line. As usual, anything from Gee is a must-watch.
