Had my first trip to Afan last weekend. Weather was a tester, torrential rain friday & saturday, not too bad sunday though. We rode the Whites both days as unfortunately the second day left us a little short of time after having to do a few bike repairs in the morning!!
Never climbed anything like it before (living in Suffolk 🙁 ), but really enjoyed it, had a nice OTB crash as well, which is always good!!
Anyway, few pics from the weekend:

Good time had by all, was my brothers (NRS) first ride of a bike in years and he did OK, riding at his own pace, although he did take a tumble on the black descent!! To be fair, it was the first time me & will had ridden anything like this and now we're itching to try a few more trail centres!
And yes, that is my mate wearing just his undershorts after his riding shorts were still soaking wet from the day before!!
Hope you like the pics.
Well, I know they're not great pics - but come on!!
Nice one, it's good laugh up there when it's wet.
Like the skid lid in this one:

Haha!! That was my brother, begging & borrowing!!! He borrowed a mate of mines Giro Hammerhead, and my other half's NRS, and my old gloves.....
