A runners perspective


I hope this blog is of use/interest to walkers, runners and cyclists living in or intending to visit Scotland. Most of my entries below are described as long-distance runs - just because that's currently what I enjoy doing...

CW-LE: Wales!

Apologies for delays updating - been camping and saving batteries!  The start of July involved a few days where I spent parts of it walking in both England and Wales at some point.  from Nantwich it was one of my longest days (25 miles) to an idyllic campsite at Colemere, via Llangollen Canal and  a short diversion to Welshampton for great food and beer.
 Then onwards down the recently restored (W.I.P.) Montgomery Canal into Wales at Llanymynech, then first night in Wales at Four Crosses.  Lovely rolling scenery the next day on to Montgomery, s gorgeous wee village and pub (The Dragon) and a great night's sleep apart from a 3am fire alarm evacuating the hotel!
The next day was mostly spent in Shropshire, a bit of a rollercoaster climbing up and down to 400m regularly..
Impressed with Offa's Dyke Path so far - and how much it keeps true to Offa's Dyke which is often visible on the landscape rolling into the distance.
