Finally did The Wall yesterday, the perfect climb, well over 1000ft (1500+ in all), suprisingly painless and zigg zagg with its little fast XC jumps a cross the lines is awsome

@@MikesMTBAdventures nightmare isn't it? I decided not to check the map so I'm 100% certain Afans in Rhondda Cynon Taff (as is Cwmcarn forest luckily) so I couldn't have crossed any burough limits😉. Great vid BTW, clicking subscribe 👍

Truly awesome video Mike. The Wall is one of my favorites at Afan forest. Starting at Rhyslyn FREE parking, 5 mins off the M4, the 1 1/2hr loop can certainly throw some punches. As you've shown, the veiws tempt you take stock of both heart rate and adrenalin levels. The Wall takes no prisoners. Keep up the great work :-))

What camera set up are you using? You've got great footage even in the fading light. Afan is awesome, there's so much on offer! There's just as much hidden away off piste stuff as there is official trails!
