After three days of driving across to Llangollen to start my walking I have decided to walk from the site today. After the rain yesterday it is forecast to be another scorching day so before heading off I make sure I have plenty of water for both Crosby and I.

Llangollen Canal and Castell Dinas Bran
After yesterday’s walk from the Horseshoe Falls at Llangollen I am keen to explore the Llangollen Canal and also visit the renowned Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. It is another cracking day, but storms are forecast for later so I ensure my waterproofs are in the rucksack before driving to the Horseshoe car park close to the River Dee at Berwyn.

A Cracking Walk up the Llantysilio Mountain from the Horseshoe Falls
I wake to another cracking morning with the temperatures set at high again. One of the difficulties being away alone with Crosby during such a heatwave is finding a way to shop. I don’t want to leave him in the back of the car for even five minutes when it is so hot. So I head off soon after 7.00 to get some provisions before the sun gets too high.

An Eleven Mile Circuit to Y Foel and the Biddulph Tower from Llangollen
Whilst away on these travels the Football World Cup has been in full swing and the nation appears to be gripped by England’s semi-final fixture with Croatia this evening. I have followed club football all my life but I cannot get worked up over the hype surrounding international football and gave up watching England a number of years ago. I found it boring and predictable with supporters and media having a misplaced belief in where England should be in the world rankings.

Heading South on the Offa’s Dyke Path from Domo CL
Yesterday I left Cholsey Grange CL and made the trip up to Shropshire to my next pitch at Domo CL a few miles outside of Oswestry. Although I have travelled with the caravan on my own before it has always been to a site Lynnie and I have previously visited. So it felt a bit odd going to a new location without Lynnie riding shotgun.

Running Kilns
After last year’s travels our outings in the Unicorn have been limited in 2015. We both miss the life on the open road, returning home has meant some compromises and I have been busy with work. However, now it is time to step away from the garden and the keyboard for a few weeks and go on tour.
There are some places that have names that just stand out and ask to be visited. Last year it was the likes of Westward Ho!, Orford Ness and Robin Hood’s Bay, this time around it is Much Wenlock, Haltwhistle and Giggleswick, although to be to be honest Giggleswick is on the list every year!
