    depends entirely on your own opinion of your fitness - nothing else....

    If you're not going off road I'd take the road bike. Where in Wales are you planning to go? You may well be ok just using the compact chainset.

    church hill, there's one near Pembroke Dock, and you'll be ok with a road bike with a triple. Don't go with an MTB.

    Contrary to common belief, there are flat (ish) bits of Wales. Oh, but it p1sses down all th time.

    Mark has got a good point regarding the triple, even if you find you don't need the small ring at least you have it just in case the going gets tough.

    Hope you have a good time!
