First off, Open face you'll die of a shrunken head if you use a full face! pads, optional, i wore XC ones in Cwm but nothing in Afan, but i would recomend you do for your first adventure there. I personally like the new centre Glyncorrigglzhshdlh or whatever its called as a halfway point if doing the W2 but it depends what routes you decide to take. Steakhouse, there can be only one! T-Bones in Neath, just up the road, we normally stay at the B+B there which is http://www.greenlanterns.co.uk/ Go and enjoy! Take fast rolling rubber and plenty of harribo |

^^^^^ What he Said Pads are optional I would say.. also when we went the big round hot orange thing was in the sky so it was nice... think by time you go this will be behind the grey wet clouds.. so a good waterproof as well... drains well though...rocks maybe extra slippy
