Afan valley report and Ranger Carl Denham.
<visions of Radio 4 truck on bricks in Afan carpark>
Got as far as this:
An area of south Wales which was devastated by pit closures has been transformed into one of the best mountain biking areas in the world.
And stopped reading.
because?
I was listening to this. Nice to hear some really positive coverage of MTBers, with the bloke from Skyline, the ranger some local businesses.
Whats not to like?
You think Afan is one of the world's best mountain biking areas?
Really?
I like the place, but seriously...
Scott, do you abstain from all exaggerated reporting? 😉
Do you manage to follow any news? Hardly crime of the century stuff is it?
Nice article and good vid I thought.
Though a more skilled rider/HD camera would have been better, still good to get the (mainly unseen & under appreciated) rangers on screen.
I think going to Afan invalidates my bike insurance!!
Scott
stop reading after one sentence of slight hyperbole?
The article and stuff on R4 was about how MTBing had been used as a form of regeneration for a post-industrial area, and how other countries were now looking to it a a model for redevelopment of mining areas. But you will have missed that because you disagreed with the trail grading... 🙄
