not sure if this is the right place to put this but here goes- i rode the wall at afan on sunday, i'm a little out of shape and it took me just under 2 hours. how does this compare with everyone else? how long does it take you? :D

    I'd say under 2 hours is pretty good! I consider myself fit-ish, and it took me 2 hrs 10 minutes.

    Afan is like fun place where i meet a bunch of mates from West wales(it's nicely in the middle of us. so we just session stuff and have fun.

    The first time I went took me over 3. But that was ages ago, Im now a better and fitter rider. I think the last time I went I did it around the 2 hour mark. I'd say 2 hours is a good time but im sure some of the racers here can do it much faster.

    Yeh we should be up north this weekend camping (well watching the weater- no point being sopping when i have awsome local tails if its jsut showers we will be there). Landeg is fun flow and all no major challenges on the black and totally smooth which is a shame so not challenging but it is one huge giggle.

    2 hours is pretty good, iv done it in 1.5 hours pushing it. Although there was 6 inches of snow and my mate was blowing chunks all over the place (dodgy spar sandwhich)... which slowed us down, but we tooka shortcut which probaly compensated.

    took a shortcut? like rode the first bit of singletrack to the subway then turned around and sat in the cafe for an hour and 25 mins :wink::D

    an essive knowledg of the fireroads in the area means my mate can shorten/lengthen pretty much any trail, while still getting all the "good bits"
