Heading there with a few friends on the 24th, givenn thhat we dont want to spend all day in the car if possible where should we go?
Happy to ride up stuff as well as down looking for some good singletrack ideally with a bit of a natural feel.
Hi quickest centre to get to is Cwmcarn. If you want natural, the gap trail at Tallybont. For the full trail centre go for Afan.
Don't forget your bridge money. £5:50 now.
A few years' back was riding the Doothie (sp?) valley by 10am, although was an early start from Guildford!
A bunch of mates and myself do a day trips to Afan from Surrey, we do them on a Saturday as there is less traffic on the roads coming back.
Leave at 6.30 to 7am riding at the latest by 11, we normally get to ride 2 of the trails then home by 8pm
should take you around 4 hrs to Afan and 3.20 to Cwm Carn, I'd definitely head to Afan myself and do the W2 and maybe the Skyline descent.
