South Wales natural trail ideas please...

[typhoon]

The thing with being redundant is lots of time to ride!!!! So..as my partner also has monday off, and the toddler is at school..can anyone reccomend a great natural off-road, 3-5 hour ride, south wales???
Need a nice change from cwn carn and afan, and things should have dried out a lot by then...but ideally need to be this sort of area as have to be back in bristol by 3...but can set off early!
Any ideas gratefully received...thanx!!

go to mtb-wales.com & hava look at the downloadable trail maps.
I like the black mountain killer loop (drive about 25miles north of newport M4) for real exposed big mountain feel. fairly easy to navigate & some long climbs & DHs the 1 s.track downhill just north of the sugarloaf is 1 of my fave s.tracks anywhere
talybont route is also on there, this route gets raved about due to the "gap" DH from the side of Penyfan.. but aside from that 1 DH & the awesome views the actual ride isnt that amazing, a long slog climb along the side of talybont reservoir for the most part.
both of these trails can be bugga exposed with poor visbility on bad weather days.
I might be doing the killer loop tomorrow... if my mate doesnt get pi$$ed up 2nite :roll:

if you were doing a sunday ride I'll happily take you on a ride
I'm doing afan next sunday (2nd), but a local ride the sunday after that (9th)
