How does access to 20 downhills sound? too good to be true?
Well in Dirt they are advertising just this with the Afan Adventure Drop Off Service.

So i booked it for the afternoon of saturday the 14th and the morning of sunday the 15th of October.

Spaces are limited to 7 max! so you better be quick.

Cost is £25 per person for both days (excluding transport, camping, food. beer etc etc).

So who wants to come for what looks like it will be a great weekend away?

The plan is to be there for around 11am on saturday, have the afternoon/evening riding, camp out in a nearby campsite, chill/party saturday night, then have the next morning riding again.

Some of the trails i have seen look fairly tame, others look awesome.
Take a look on mtbbrittain (http://www.mtbbritain.co.uk/helmet_camera_video.html) for helmet cams of some of the runs we will be doing........ sweet!

Your place will only be guaranteed when i have recieved your money! saying you will go will not give you a place untill you handed over the cash.
Refunds will only be given if the uplift service cancel, not if you cant make it or whatever lame reason you come up with!

So far we have:

transport depends on who is going, sleeping will be in the great outdoors, or under canvas as they say;)

Any places left for this guys?
I live 20min drive from afan now, it's my local but i always ride it alone and never get there on weekends to take advantage of this uplift service.
Let me know if i can squeeze in and i should be able to meet you up there come the day.
