Cheers for the advice guys. I'm slowly putting together a vague itinerary incorporating your suggestions. A lot will depend on the weather (and Mrs S) and we do have a tendency to head off in one direction only to end up somewhere completely diffiferent - usually (but not always!)intentionally.
As we only have 3 or 4 days I'm really aiming to get a flavour of the place and hopefully will be back again in the near future.

Just returned from a fine weekend and incorporated quite a few of your suggestions. Thanks again!
The Brinore Tramroad/Taff Trail proved a great way in/out of Talybont and into the hills.
Sunday - Short run out incorporating Brinore Tramroad/Taff Trail/Tor y Foel and beyond.
Monday - Waun Rydd, Fan y Big, Cribyn return via Talybont Forest then Brinore Tramroad/Taff Trail.
Tuesday - Drove over to Taf Fechan forest and then did Graig Fan Ddu, Corn Du, Pen y Fan, Craig y Fan Ddu.
Would definitely recommend Talybont Farm campsite. Reasonably priced, quiet, large pitches with excellent pubs nearby - what more could you want!
Will be back again sometime soon.....
