Review:
We travelled 8 hours in the car to do this trail and it was completely worth it. Coming from 7 stane territory I cant help making the comparison when i try a new trail, this trail has the same grin factor as Innerleithen and what makes it extra special is that you dont feel like you have the killer climb to get the fruit. True enough you can easily miss either of the half way trail centre stop offs but even if you do venture to them its not the end of the world and certainly doesn't spoil anything.
I dont think I can fault this trail we loved every minute of it. i suppose if i had anything negative to say it would be that i live so far away from it....damn goegraphy!!!

Summary:
Long, but the two decents are worth it

Review:
I have not ridden the Wall before so thought W2 sounded good. Whites level climb is amazing, love it (I am a mountain goat). Thought the link road was boring but an essential. Wall decent was good fun. If you dont want to stop at the original Afan centre take a left at the bottom of the final decent and save yourself 2 miles of pointless riding.
Climb back up the wall is a little boring but once you get to the woods its great.
Northshore near the end of Whites is great and the final decent is super.
Not sure where 4-7 hours came from as it took us just under 3 hours and we took our time. But take a camel bak with kit as you do get out in the wild with this one.
