    It would be a shame to see any facility go but I never bother with Afan centre when im there unless i have to. Stark contrast to Glyncorrwyg where im happy to have my tea and a beer after a ride and speak with the shop boys

    plans for a long green next year aimed at more family orientated riding apparently so id say there would be demand . Usualy stay in petrabach holiday inn but prices are getting a bit silly now 190 for 2 days over last bank hol.

    A nice s/c option would be of interest.

    Berko’s a lovely lovely town with good riding in ashridge / aston hill and chilterns , good cafe restaurants etc. I live in chipperfield which is a little village tucked away up lanes with village cricket team common etc but only 3 miles from mainline and totally rideable all the way near enough to watford town centre off-road. Worth taking a look at kings langley , sarratt and here if you like villagey. For a guide I know of a two bed maisonette which has just been done up going for 1000 Pcm . Good road riding and links to m25 m1 as well . Shout if you need anything

    Story of my life — I was waiting for my dreams to shatter – I didn’t need a new board anyway honest ..

    Jibbing board = park and rails
    Powder board = well self explanatory

    “TX Maxx have tons of Levis 514’s in blue and black, they are labelled as skinny which put me off initially (they are deffo not a true hipster skinny fit) but I have bought 2 pairs in both colours now. They are kind of stretchy fabric and not a true pair of jeans but they are a brilliant pair of kegs, especially for £25.”

    This I used to buy diesel then was nosing around maxx on Saturday and saw the 514’s Brought one pair in chocolate for a score and wore them out went back on Sunday and brought Blue , Olive and Black pair – Very comfortable great look and less restrictive on my manly legs !

    I love Bf4 online but prepare to get your arse handed to you untill you level up as the games been out a while and most of the players have all the weapons now.

    Well worth it though – i have clocked over 200 hours in the last year in snatched 2 hour sessions and all day rain fests when she is out – Its a good Release !!
