So we are going to Afan tomorrow for the day and it looks like theres too much to be able to ride in the one day so if possible would people be able to give me an idea of whats best then we will start with that and see how many different trails we can get done... probably just the two loops...

We all ride 5'' full sussers and like it rough as it comes but the odd flowy jumps and berms is good too (I realise this probably covers everything ha)

Also, where abouts is the new jump park area? at the afan visitor centre or at the glyncorrwg centre?

thanks!

For a mix of everything "the Wall" would be good.
"Bikepark" area is towards the end of the loop, lots of fun there, some good jumps and berms.
"Whites level" further on at Glyncorrwg is also good but haven't ridden it for ages.

I like Whites Level the best, haven't been there for about 3 years though.

Do W2. You do both Y Wal and Whites level then. Stop at the Bikepark at Bryn Bettws Lodge partway round and get some sick air.
S'wot we did last weekend.

W2 with at least one lap of the black at the top of whites, and be sure to go on the "bike park" on the wall.

Graveyard and Zigzag trails currently being [s]maintained[/s] ruined by puddles of slippery mud being placed in the slightest trail imperfection (which is ironically making the trail much worse because the soft mud now has major divots forming already- i've no idea why they want to sanitise the trail anyway?)

Horrible detour on Whites climb as well!

The detour climb on whites is ridiculous....
