If you are there all weekend you will do them all no bother.

I can recommend White's Level, and the last descent of Skyline as a great starter. Personally I would give the Wall a miss.
As per the above, you can easily do all of them in a weekend.

Umm.... Sure there was another similar thread on this topic earlier and it said....

Go to Brechfa! With a whole weekend at your disposal you'll probably be able to nip up to Cwm Rhaeadr too.

Cannock chase.?

Sorry. ๐Ÿ˜€

Whites is really good. As above skyline descent good. I like the wall but the climbs are a tad dull.

Brechfa is well worth a look. About an hour or so away.

Pennyth(wrong spelling I know) trail, the one behind the Afan trailcentre, is closed at the moment and will be for some time. Shame really because it has some great bits. Whites is always good, they have resurfaced the lower bit of "Energy" through the trees and the black run is always a hoot. The future of the trails in the area is under much discussion at the moment amongst the locals, they have discovered some diseased trees on the "Wall" side of the valley and are talking about felling the lot and leaving them where they lay. How this will affect everything I do not know. Maybe someone here can shed some light?
