Afan is a great trail centre near Port Talbot in South Wales – just over 2hrs drive from Swindon… but well worth it. Last time we were there we did White’s Level followed by a shortened version of The Skyline. See the ride report. This time we’re planning on doing the WW2 trail. That’s the [...]

Afan and Cwm Carn are well known trail centres in south Wales. I called in at both during the Christmas holiday in 2010. The Afan trip was organised by DIRT club (Facebook group, website) Ride reports and information about Afan: White’s Level and Skyline May 2010 Ride report and information about Cwm Carn: July 2010, [...]

This is another ride that I did over the Christmas holidays that I thought was worth adding as a route suggestion. This loop in the Black Mountains (near Abergavenney) starts and finishes next to a pub and takes in two really good descents. There was a lot of snow and ice on the day that [...]

An evening/night ride at Croft Trails. All welcome of any ability level – no one gets left behind on our group rides. Novice Friendly group starts a few minutes after the main group. This is a great chance to be given a guided tour of the trails if you’ve never been before, and a chance [...]

The original plan was to meet at the Woolstone hill car park. Ice on the road meant that cars were struggling to make it up the hill though. So we decided to start from the Royal Oak pub car park at Bishopstone instead. Rafe concocted a route up the ridgeway to Uffington castle and then [...]

By this time you’ll definitely be bored with Christmas and over eating, so this will be an ideal opportunity to go out and do something. By this time we hope to have almost all of the trail surfaced. We’ll probably be making a start on our new triangle loop (6). We meet in the car [...]
