Would recommend W2, i drive down from birmingham quite often and thats a 3hr drive if not more sometimes. Start off on the white climb as its more fun when fresh and finish on the whites descent! best day out ever, took me 4 hrs and im no fitness freak, i only manage FTD and Monkey in just under 2 at the moment.

+1 for W2 but if you're stuck for time I'd go for Whites - lovely up and down.

We rode both back to back at the Big Welsh Weekend. We are Peak based and prefered Whites. My lads 12 and did Whites in a hour and 5 and the wall in 1.15 from the bike shops. The views on the Wall are better IMHO. Would do W2 next time to make it a great few hours out, I think the sum would be greater than the parts.

So a 12 year old did The Wall with an average speed of 18.4kph?

Correct choice
Glad you enjoyed it. The two of them back-to-back do make a great ride.

And what were your times?

I also went to Afan for the first time yesterday and had been reading this thread to decide on which to do.
Had a great time, did Whites Level, unfortunately one mate decided to use his face as a brake, so didn't fancy doing the Wall after. Especially as he ground the side of his face along the wooden side.

Two hours for each which I did not think was too bad considering I am used to the "masssive hills" of southern England.
