Afan forest park

[dafmeister]

I am going to Afan mountain biking centre on Sunday 25th if anyone is interested?

As well as all the cyclists to shoot, there is some beautiful scenery and fishing lakes too?

:woot:

i'm out on my mtb in the lakes the day before......probably won't be in a fit state on the 25th

Nope in work, maybe in the future

I've heard a lot about this place .. where is it exactly? Have you got a link? When I google it I can only find council pages and general tourist guides for the area. I assume it's run by an organisation with dedicated website or similar ... I'm hoping to visit it for the 1st time in July.

I may possibly make this, I went last year and had a blast, it just depends what else I have on:thumbs:

Wow. (http://www.neath-porttalbot.gov.uk/afanforestpark/mountainbiking.cfm) Looks like the kind of place you'd need to stay overnight (or 2 x nights) to get the full experience.

Plugus Maximus. The park and mtb run's are run by the local council. Looks like they are doing something right for a change. They seem to control the websites of the local attractions (council run anyway) quite tightly. That might explain why you cannot find any more info.

Ah that be why. I've seen the link ekimeno mentioned but it states it grades the routes from easy, medium to difficult and then proceeds to not mention the grading system when describing the routes. The best site I found was http://www.mbwales.com/.

Apologys for the thread hijack!

All the routes are amazing. The orange is the easiest (haha) then red, then purple then the yellow(skyline).
We aint done the yellow yet *** the others are grualling enough!
Plenty of places to stop and take photos though, and the down hill sections are unbelievable. Heck of a buzz.
