  • Afan is located near Port Talbot in South Wales and has some of the best trail riding I have ever ridden on offer. Kara & I are on a road trip and decided to swing by for a loop of the black trail "W2" as we had heard good things and it certainly did not disappoint... weather your a beginner MTB rider or advanced, Afan covered it all and we had and awesome session...
    Afan offers some of the best MTB trail riding in the south of Wales and the U.K in my opinion... from fast flowing sections, steep technical lines and huge climbs Afan covers it all and I would highly recommend the trails to anyone!
    I was riding my Haibike ALLMTN 3.5 electric bike which is perfect for this style of riding!
    I hope that you enjoy the video! :)

    Hi Tom, I visited this trail park yesterday for the first time with my parter and were blown away how much it had on offer. Even on the green and blue family trails you can still loose at a slow speed it because the scenery is that awesome.
    Living fairly locally to this is going to be an good dose of excitement when you know you're going to visit the centre again because I felt it ticked a lot of boxes. Thank you and Kara for the videos you've made on this place , they were helpful before visiting .

    Hey Tom Cardy! What an awesome adventure day! Those are the type of raw, natural trails I ride here near Vancouver BC Canada! You and Kara Beal should plan a long trip here after things have opened up again! Ride ride ride!

    My local trails, some amazing off piste places up there too, also “Du” as someone else said is just Black in Welsh and is pronounced “Dee” nice to see some big names using the trails though, not quite a bike park, but some really fun lines up there, there’s another visitor centre you pass way before you get to this one, which has got a couple of nice trails too!

    Great trails at Afan, when I went years ago the trails were "The Wall" "Skyline" "Whytes levels" and "The Red Bull run" did all of them over a couple of days, Awesome riding.

    Watched this again cos we're locked in, I'll assume theocal boys you spoke to mentioned the masts trails, if you enjoyed s4 and 6ft under, you'll love the masts. Jim pinned tv done a idiots guide a few weeks ago so I'm not giving any secrets away. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🚴‍♂️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🚴‍♂️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

    Just rode w2 on my analogue bike in the recent 36c heatwave. VERY SWEATY!
    The big long climb up whites level, no shade, 36c, I wished I had an eeb!
    But its not Black tech, W2 is a black xc route...I.e. black rated for physicality. The 2 trails that join together to make W2 are each individually rated reds...and that's trail centre reds (=bike park blue).
    Still, its a tough ride with long and technical (in places) climbs.

    Matt Jones, Tom cardy, and Sam pilgrim should take their girlfriends on a tour of the UK and go to as many trails as possible, maybe do some 2 hour builds along the way leave their mark

      Skyline is a very old XC trail, W2 is much better than sktline
