I'm still working on getting a pass for the day as the GF has a cold and is treating it like a dose of man flu. I don't suppose anybody fancies a lift share from Hertford or anywhere on the way from that area?Custom spec Scott Scale

Will you be heading up and back on Sunday? That should make getting a pass a fair bit easier!
Never ridden at Afan before, how does The Wall compare to the likes of the 7 Stanes red or black routes?Custom spec Scott Scale

The wall is a good fun couple of hours, nothing mental or gnarly. Good xc fun

Have you got a rough idea of what time you'll be passing South Mims in both directions? I'm guessing pretty early, like half 6 or 6? Sorry to ask so many questions, will help getting a pass if I know most of the details :oops:Custom spec Scott Scale

I'm man flued up, cr@p and scared I'm going to fall off the mountain, so if anyone is going to hold us up its me. Come on all the cool kids will be there0 -
Anyone be anoyed if I suggest cwm carn instead?
Only because I've never been and done the wall lots?0 -
I'm easy, will turn up have no fear, i may even make it on time. I love Cwm so easy on riding both and far more likely to make Cwm on time lol.
Will keep tracking the thread 0 -
I'm in the opposite body, I've not ridden the wall but I've ridden cwm lots, Bails is the same, I also know bails loathes cwmcarn, so I'm gonna stick to plan a on that basis0

Thats cos Bails has no taste and likes flat descents where you have to pedal

Eh? I don't like CC because it's a featureless descent, but we can discuss that in person.Thewaylander wrote:Gazlar wrote:I'm in the opposite body, I've not ridden the wall but I've ridden cwm lots, Bails is the same, I also know bails loathes cwmcarn, so I'm gonna stick to plan a on that basis

Sorry VW, but as said I'm not a fan of CC, I'll go there for the social-ness, but I'd rather try Afan for the riding.0 -
