Llangollen-Kinnerton run

A cracking training run for the imminent Iceland ultra race with Dave today. Kate dropped us off in Llangollen, and we ran up to Eglwyseg via Dinbren wood to the Offa's Dyke path. Superb running below all the crags led to World's End and the steep climb up the Esclusham mountain road to the path along the Aber Sychnant. This was very vague indeed, almost impossible to follow through the bog and heather (although we did see a black grouse). Then down to Ty Hir farm, then NE to the Nant Road and up to Bwlchgwyn. Down the minor road skirting Nant y Ffrith to Glascoed, then the bridleway down to Ffrith. Up to Cymau, then Abermorddu, through Hope to Shordley and the lanes back to HK and the house. Probably about 18 miles, but largely off road and very hilly so felt much longer. Good training for Iceland.
