I haven’t been to Afan for ages, I just wanted to check, when it says the centre closes at 4pm, I assume that’s just the actual visitors centre – I can still escape from the car park after that can’t I?

Other than that; given 5-6 hrs I guess the best route to tackle is W2? Anything I should know such as sneaky shortcuts to cut off dull bits (as with The Beast at CYB)?

you can access the trails and car park outside the centre opening hours.

Cool, thanks.

And the centre’s shut for major refurbishment at the moment, so if you want to eat when you get back, and you’re doing W2, Glyncorrwg would be a better place to start.

They’re still doing food in the temporary visitor centre up by the top car park (you’ve got to find it first though). Had some nice toasted tea cake there on Sunday.
