Huts?

Never been to S. Wales before, but we are planning a trip down there soonish to go mountain biking, i was wondering if any clubs with huts down there are nice enough to let about 8 to 10 bikers stay?

Not too different to cavers, still get covered in sh1t, but less facial hair in general.

As i said, got no idea where any huts are, or where pubs are in relation to them so any info would be useful!

Somewhere near Cwn Carn/ Afan.

Thanks.

South Wales CC, Chelsea SS, Westminster SG, Croydon CC

All have websites with accommodation details.

Don't know which one would be best for you - they're all pretty much spread out all over the place.

TT, if you're a caver who has never been to S. Wales before ditch your mountain bike and go caving! It's got a couple of OK-ish caves; check out Ogof Ffynnon Ddu or perhaps visit something small like Agen Allwedd instead.

Was thinking of doing some mountain biking down there once and I think CSS was closest to Cwm Carn, with the others closer to Afan.

Never heard of 'em.
Just shows how rubbish they must be then! :LOL:

Actually the plural of Ogof is Ogofau....oooh! :wink:

Does that mean that a Welsh Caver is a Cymru Ogofer and Welsh Cavers are Cymru Ogofauers?

Probably not.

Try Ogofwr Cymraeg (for one), Ogofwyr Cymraeg (many of us!)

Cheers to SWCC for letting us stay, had a tremendous weekend (even though it took us 45 minuites to find the place!).

Spent both days at afan, riding the wall, whites level and the skyline- all mint trails. My little fingers were feeling quite battered by the end of sunday but i guess its good practice for the summer (current plan to do the megavalanche on a hardtail :( :!: :shock: ).

Will have to go caving next time i'm down that way though. Too sunny last weekend to be underground :wink: .
