    Afan is Swansea, there's loads of B&B's about 10mins from Afan...most of them over look the bay :lol:

    The Afan trails are split over two sites about 4 miles apart - Afan and Glyncorrwg.

    Penhydd and The Wall start at Afan, Whites and Skyline start at Glyncorrwg. There is camping available at Glyncorrwg.

    Swansea is only 10 minutes down the M4 - loads of b+bs etc there, and you can go on the lash in Swansea afterwards, TIDY.

    Wonderful place called Wind Street. If you are wanting to get a few beers in let me know and I'll give you "the tour" depending on your music preference

    I stayed at my mates in Cardiff. 30 minutes drive from there.

    Not very helpful I suppose, don't think he'd be happy if I gave out his address to random bikers :lol:
    Current steed is a '07 Carrera Banshee X

    Or the Mumbles Mile - I went to uni in Swansea, I wish I never left!

    There is a great campsite at the Glyncorrwg start point of the Skyline trail in Afan. There are hot showers, a great bike atmosphere and food. A great little bike shop. And a chinese that is not bad in the local town. The locals in the rugby club up the road are very friendly and welcoming and the pints are not badly priced either.
    The only recomendation i could make is to avoid Neath at all costs.

    The phone No. for the centre is 01639851900 to enquire about camping.
    And there are plenty of B&B's very close by.
    Visit the shop website for links at www.skylinecycles.co.uk
    It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.
