Nice to meet some new faces.
Would love to know where you went in Wales Dysan, Ive done nearly all the trails in North Wales, and a lot from Mid Wales and didnt find things over tough, different with more mud in Mid, and a lot more water! You must have hit a load of secret spots.

We were south west of Oswestry, just over the border. Taken on the trails by a TRF god that knew then all without GPS. I could find the start point, but not the lanes. Here's a link from Advrider. Mainly the other group, but shows the type of terrain.

Cheers Dysan, Im going to have to get the maps out and scout the area. I normally head to Llangollen then West from here, or drop down into mid Wales. Will get some Oswestry maps on order after looking at Trailwise.

"The trails of the world be countless, and most of the trails be tried.

You tread on the heels of many, till you come where the ways divide.

And one lies safe in the sunlight, and the other is dreary and wan, Yet you look aslant at the Lone Trail, and the Lone Trail lures you on....

....Bid good-bye to sweetheart, bid goodbye to friend, The Lone Trail, the Lone Trail, follow to the end.

Tarry not, and fear not, chosen of the true;

Lover of the Lone Trail, The Lone Trail waits for you"
