    coed y brenin without a doubt, much bigger choice of trails. afan only has 2 trail at the moment really, 3 if you include skyline, but they could all be ridden in 2 days :D

    But Afan is also close to Cwmcarn and Brechfa so you can add in those as well.

    And coed y brenin is near Penmachno and Betws y Coed, and not too far from Machynlleth. And all the snowdonia range.

    In other words, Wales is awesome.
    (Except for Rhyl).

    Well... I like it.
    Rhyl is even awesomer though. Depending what you're into, of course.

    I would go with Yee on this as my opinion of Afan is low, find most of the trails pretty dull to be honest :(
