Hi all, I'm heading to Afan tomorrow with a couple of mates and probably going to do the wall first and then Penhydd after a bit of lunch. I've been once before with my local club and we parked at the old AFP trail centre and did the same two trails.

My question is, I hear the Glyncorrwg centre is much nicer, so if we park over there and then do the two trails does it add a great deal of distance to our ride? And is it worth the extra effort?

Cheers for the help guys

    If you're set on doing Penhydd and The Wall, you're adding in quite a tedious section of fire road after finishing Penhydd.

    The visitor centre is certainly better, though - better food, better opening hours and a bike shop.

    If you going to Glyncorrwg, though, think about doing Whites instead of one of the other 2, it starts and ends right by the centre.

    I also prefer Whites to The Wall, but that's obviously a personal thing - I'd go to Penhydd first, and finish with Whites, but the The Wall and Whites are a more natural pairing as they are next to each other.

    Alaric.
