We trespassed our way up that one, having decided to approach direct from the campsite we'd stayed at the previous night. <br /><br />Bradnor Hill is on our agenda for later this month, when we'll be walking Offa's Dyke Path in its entirety, taking in a few Marilyns on our way.

Golf Clubs allowing scruffy (no offence) walkers in for a bite to eat?

I do not need pages and pages on "how to get there", what footwear to take, a biography of Joe Bloggs who invented the route and a history of the English Civil War along with the other half of the walk that I am not doing. Some of those guides weigh half as much as my tent. All I can say in mitigation is that the discarded sections do remain at home.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-67914583332298312962016-04-03T07:33:57.261+01:002016-04-03T07:33:57.261+01:00You're visiting a beautiful part of the countr...You're visiting a beautiful part of the country. I must confess to actually being quite fond of 'poor' Craven Arms - although that's probably remembering the place through rose-tinted spectacles, my first visit was 45 years ago when it was a very different town. <br />Progress eh?<br />Currently reading Ian Rankin's 'Tooth & Nail', NOT using the total loss reading system - I think it's sinful to tear the read pages out of a book, even a paperback.<br />I'm enjoying following your adventures, as always!John Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07569413172924501491noreply@blogger.com
