Thinking of hitting up Afan tomorrow and my buddy wanted to be sure that it was free of too much snow/ice on the tops.

anyone riden there recently care to put his mind at rest?

with the rain we've had in past week I would say it's safely all gone, maybe a bit icy early on as had heavy frost last night and will be the same tonight.

So more likely to be muddy than snow and ice in places

I'm heading to glyncorrwg in the morning so maybe see you and your buddy out there!!??!!

Take it easy on the side roads as I spun off the road this morning for the first time ever! Admittedly I live further west than afan but just a word of caution 🙂

I'm sure it'll be fine just be warned there is bad ice on the country roads in places. I was going slightly up hill at about 30 mph on a country road and the car started to spin off towards a hedge with no warning . I didnt brake but the car continued to slide towards a hedge and the downward sloping bank. I braked at the last moment out of instinct and the back swung around but got away with just a smashed side mirror - glass all over dashboard!! 20 mins later coming back the other way on the same road at the same spot, a van was being pulled out of the hedge/fence - so I rang the police to let them know how bad it was - the van driver got out of the van and almost fell on his ar*e a few times it was so slippery !!
