I was planning to ride Penmachno/Marin, but i've done them many times before.
We need to stay more mid Wales really, as we have to drive down to Afan at the end of the day. So, ideally around 2hrs drive away from Afan. I have also ridden Brechfa many times too, so maybe not there again.
Nant Yr Arian is somewhere i've been looking at. Looks the right length @35k but i'm wondering about the technical nature of the trail. I want something tech and rocky preferably, and not a 'Llandegla' style gravel motorway.
What else might fit the bill in the region?
Any tips/suggestions welcomed.

😳 A bit more North than I though!
Some sort of mountain perhaps, I'm sure there's one in the area 😉
Just do Nant, the trails are not motorways at all and are great fun, and the long route has a fair bit of rocky doubletrack. Failing that then take yourself up Cadair Idris and back (might be a bit far). Might be the one jekkyl is referring to..?
@jekkyl
I appreciate the pureism about mountains, i actually do.....
BUT
probably something waymarked/trail centre type...
Mach is another option, as the final descent on CLimachx is supposed to be very good. Although if you go on the Dyfi site, it also appears to be CLOSED! It's also not really a very long trail.
So maybe i'll just stick to Nant.
Depends where you are staying in mid Wales but hopton woods is a good route and not far over the border..

I was referring to mount snowdon and that's waymarked .... UP /\ AND DOWN \/ 😉 although I take your point, I was being flippant.
Something involving the Doethie Valley.
Doethie Valley is fabulous. Route finding is straightforward with a map, but not meaningfully signposted though and a wrong turn would lead you astray. You could also go closer to Afan and look at the many routes in the Brecon Beacons...
Having looked at it, Doethie looks perfect TBH. We'll do that in the morning and Brechfa in the PM.
Cheers all.
