For those who have been, does the cafe serve nice food? Is it ridiculously priced?
Just wondered if I need to stock up on pasties and pork pies or not!

Is that from starting from the Glyncorrwg start? as I have been told to start from the Afan car park as it avoids the mile long climb. Good pics by the way mate. PS it'll be pissing down...wet rocks and roots are half the fun...  |

Starting at the visitor centre is the best option I think..

I think that is the general consensus, just about. Hang on, I'll just have a look at my shiny, laminated, trail map again. |

Might do, I'll be whipping the map out at every stop and pointing thoughtfully into the distance, like catalogue man  Wolfie I wouldn't fancy that climb as the first section, prefer to warm up to that, Afan car park it is then. |

PS it'll be pissing down...wet rocks and roots are half the fun... Just to clarify. It doesn't miss out the climb, you just do it later on after lunch. And it's an hour (ish)climb , not a mile Here is my strava from the ride. I'm very slow on the bike at the moment though Check out my 29.2 mi Ride on Strava: app.strava.com/activities/203179061It's the White's level initial climb |

I'm just stunned you had your missus laminate the map. I've got a very reputable supplier of laminating stuff and printing stuff right next to me. In future let me know and stop bothering me to make your machine go and I'll get it sorted. Makes me wonder why it needs laminating, what exactly are you doing with it???

Well, he did day he was excited.
Mind you, at his age, he's more likely to spill his tea on it.

Parts of that climb look pretty interesting to be honest... Can't believe I said that!
You'll be fine climbing, Old-Un.. No rush, we have all day!
PS....
Car Rules For Passangers
1:- The front armrest is for use by THE DRIVER ONLY
2:- Although I will have a ready supply of chewing gum, passengers are encouraged to bring a supply of sweets to be shared with the driver
3:- DO NOT touch the radio
4:- No passengers are permitted to sleep whilst the driver is unable too. Sleeping will result in a smack around the head
5:- Any brew stops are welcome, the passenger should ALWAYS offer to meet the cost of said stop
6:- The Sat-Nav IS NOT law, if you know an alternative route, say so
7:- DO NOT touch the radio
8:- You will have complete control of the heater on your side of the car. If you're too warm, turn it down. The driver will not touch your heater
9:- The use of heated seats is permitted but you must say 'fook me, I thought I'd pissed meself' as the seat heats up
10:-DO NOT touch the radio
This list is by no means complete and the driver reserves the right to add to it with no notice.
