Afan will be a lot fun. What trail you got planned for tomorrow?

Twrch trail today,white level (w2) tomorrow

Whytes is good if you do that but half a days ride. W2 is whytes and the wall together is a big ride.

Epic climbing in Afan.... but rewarded with great trails and scenery...... enjoy.

Whites,wall,zig zag,alpha,& a couple more mad mad trails
Another epic day in Afan weather has been perfect,no rain no wind
All in all a great day but for the first timer it's been very very hard going on the legs
Off to green lanterns for a monster T bone
