Afan Forest 4 day visit Sept 29 to Oct 2nd 2017
Well my 2nd stay this year at Afan Forest and the excellent Afan Lodge with a 3 night stay and 4 days of Mountain Biking
Raven route at Brechfa on the Friday which i will put up a review separately not very impressed.
Saturday W2 - The Wall & Whites Level combined - 32 miles in total from Afan Lodge with 1000 metres of climbing excellent apart from the rain.
Sunday Penyhdd & Blue Scar both great trails 16 miles in total back to Afan Lodge - alot of Fireroad on Penyhdd but the singletrack on this route is great. Blue Scar great short bermy fast trail good fun.
Monday Whites Level and if you know the area i added a good chunk of the top part of the Blade route to make 24 miles in total back to Lodge.
Great long weekend and all completed on my new Scott 720 Carbon Hardtail although my arms ached a bit up front re the rocks and 100mm of travel.
Go you wont regret it!!
What do you like?
Afan Lodge - Brill is all i can say, comfy rooms, secure bike store, bike wash and restaurant has great food including the brekkie
Right on the doorstep for all trails and plenty of parking
Great all weather trials and loads to choose from or combine such as Whites Level and some of the Blade
Has to be the best trail centre in the South if not Wales & England for variety of trails & Afan lodge to stay at.
Easy to get to off the M4 only 8-9 miles from there.
Long downhills with great variety
Very good singletrack
What could be improved?
Bloody weather had 2 and half days of complete rain and 1 and half dry days
Cafe was shut at Glyncorrwg trail centre
Would you recommend?
Yes
