6th April -- Llangollen, N. Wales | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
A mainly damp and rather gloomy day, with photographs to match! | |||||
The C walk started out of the town towards Castel Dinas Bran where most skirted around the base of the castel, | |||||
though 4 did go over the top.. | ..here's one | ||||
After the castel the route went NE and followed the minor road towards Rock Farm | past the lambing sheds of one of the farms | then to Ty Newydd turning left to Tan-y-fron onto the path to Crucis Abbey. After a short pause, some took a shortened route back to Llangollen from there; | |||
the rest proceeded across country to the Horseshoe Falls | and the nearby Church of St Tysilio, then back to Llangollen along the river and canal bank. | ||||
The B- route followed the minor road nothwards out of town to join the Clwydian Way near Dinbren Hall | |||||
(NOT Dinbren Hall!) | heading north to Tan-y-fron | ||||
up the east side of the Foel Plantation | and down past a mossy barn near Glyn | ||||
along the | Offa's Dyke path | ||||
and wetly back | through Dinbren Wood | ||||
The B+ walk started | |||||
on the Offa's Dyke Path | under the looming crags | ||||
of Ruabon Mountain | Paddling in the river at World's End | ||||
picnic by the river | |||||
"It's being so cheerful as keeps me going!" | |||||
The A walk started | |||||
under gloomy skies | and with some unusual wildlife | ||||
misty across the valley | from the Offa's Dyke Path | ||||
Carol exaggerating again | Soggy going | ||||
over Ruabon Mountain | |||||
And finally... | |||||
in the Corn Mill | Hippy caravan | ||||
and steam train | |||||
JJ's sparkling conversation | |||||
has an unexpected effect! | |||||
