 I think the newnham caterers should do it a big plate of pasta pesto and a half baguette for £2.50, I can eat that stuff all day long.

Sorry, but its a top place to eat - we worked our day out last Saturday so we could both get lunch there and finish with coffee/beer/cake - 'cos there is no way we were eating down at the other centre's cafe, as that is seriously shite. We always said if you ever wanted to see the difference between public and private ownership, from a service perspective, go to the two Afan cafes! I'm guessing somebody has offered more money for the contract, the same thing happened near us, in the Ashridge cafe.

black heart billy,, We even get your money of you when you come over the 7 bridge as well,,,ha  ,, By the as for sheep, we shag um and you eat um,, . Its a sad day for the cafe , it was all part of going there riding the bike, shower then into the cafe, its a pity

 I loved the dropoff..Thier cheese on toast was legendary. When you capmed there it was a fantastic place to get bladdered in the evening also. I hope that the new leasholders will uphold the spirit of the trails and give good homecooked food and decent beer at reasonable prices. The Cafe felt like a place for mountain bikers and looking down the valley from the deck with your huge hunk of food and decent bottled beer you felt that you had made a pilgrimage . A plate of soggy chips with a plastic burger and a fosters would sorta take the shine off that

 We even get your money of you when you come over the 7 bridge as well,,,ha And the reason you pay the whole toll getting into Wales is because everyone's in such a hurry to get back to civilisation they'd just crash thru' an toll booths in their way out. And it's Severn btw  I feel the need for an Afan trip before the end of the year, if only to have one last lasagne in there

I'm going up in the van to do the Kona Mash Up on Dec 5th, that's going to be my last trip up with old drop off
|
|
Mmmmm Dec 5th. *goes to check calendar*
|
|
 A trip to afan in late November would be good, I could visit my family in wales (I know, I don't like to speak about it) and buy some british beer for Christmas.
|
|
We could make it an On-one only meet
|
|
Dec the 5th I could do that.
|
|
We could make it an On-one only meet I've got to get a hope headset and brakes, new seatpost, new saddle and a set of wheels past the missus first
|
|
 The Dropoff is an oasis in a desert. Driving to and from the the trail centre, there doesn't seen to be any convenient alternative foody place so it seems a bit crazy.
|
|
Bloody good Burger King at the M4- maesteg junction
|
|
 better coffee too.
|
|
When the BM lot went to Afan we went to a pub that was an old railway station..that was good grub for cheap and the barman seemed to know the trails too
|
|
 The pub that was a railway station is pretty decent.
Still the couple of times I've been there the drop off café was pretty good.
My only complaint was the posy wankers on the terrasse...

were two of 'em riding Cotic Souls and was one nursing a separted shoulder?

It maybe Severn but what "Crash thru an toll booths in their way out " means is anyones guess! And Ed, it maybe, in your mind, people from over the bridge who visited the trail centre more but that aint proof. And if its true it hasn't helped cos its shutting! So, if you dont want to pay the Bridge (which is owned by the French) ride your flatland and leave the hills to us.
