    I’m off to Afan this weekend. How are the trails currently holding up and are there any major closures apart from Penhydd (shame as it’s my favourite overall)?

    No idea, but does anyone know how the Ryder Cup is affecting access via the M4 / Severn Bridge? (Sorry, not meant to be a hi-jack) 😮

    Some sections of skyline are definitely closed.
    The trails looked fine for the monster last weekend, even some of the secret trails weren’t in too bad condition considering.

    …but does anyone know how the Ryder Cup is affecting access via the M4 / Severn Bridge?

    Someone here at work just came past there, some of the roads around the hotel have closures and things though.

    I’m off to Afan next weekend, have a good one!

    Penhydd is closed as already said. THere are diversions in place on the Wall in that the climb is all on fireroad apart from the last two sections of climbing single track, the descent is all rideable. All of Whites Level is open. Skyline has diversions in place but the main diversion takes in natural riding after the initial mile of fireroad. You could still do all three trails linked together to make it a worthwhile visit!

    I was planning two visit to Afan in October before the winter set in, does the skyline trail have some closed section? as I dont want to travel all the way to find it’s closed on some parts.

    Is white’s level trail is open at the moment?

    mendip – Just finished day two of an Afan adventure, white’s level is open and is pretty good, Did Skyline today… it was my first time… in its current state it is the most unrewarding trail I have ridden so far. However i have no idea how much of this is down to the closures, handy andy, heart burn and grand canyon, or down to the fact my bike is all wrong and I am a true weekend warrior and haven’t been on my bike for much more than 3 hours for several weeks.
