Not sure I have heard of Elan valley being referred to as the "Welsh lake District" but nether the less it is a awesome place to ride. Bad weather can make you fill a million miles away from home and when it is wet, it is truly wet.
I have had some awesome rides there in heat waves, rain and bright sunny minus 7° days.
