Llandegla 33Km Trail Run

The trail through the forest
More moors! I had them all to myself.. Except for the geese
I revisited this area for a run having last been here in January of this year.
I thought I'd try out the, 'follow a route', choice on my watch. The slight issue with the downloaded route was during my last adventure I spent a few minutes, okay a few tens of minutes, trying to find the path across the moor once leaving the forest. I decided I'd navigate that section the old fashioned way.
Reaching the reservoir I made the same navigation error again taking the track ahead of me once I'd crossed the dam. I should have turned left and following the trail for a few metres and then taking the next trail on the right. This trail would take me all the way to the forests fence line i.e. The place I wanted to be. Instead, I spent, you guessed it, another ten minutes trying to find the correct path.
Once I found the correct path I headed South past World's End looking for the re-entrant which ran East across Ruabon Mountain.
Really, I made the same navigational error as last time. I took the one opposite Plas-Yn-Eglwyseg rather than the one opposite Rock Farm. This meant I again reached the summit looking for a path that didn't exist.
I finally found a trail which meandered across Bryr-Adda Flat and into Newtown Mountain forest. There is a good water stop there.
Taking the path left, which followed the stream, after the bridge meant I came out on the Western side of the forest rather than the planned Northern edge. I continued heading North West towards Crag-y-Cythraul. I finally found the path which headed East and back towards the Mountain Lodge, the place I wanted to be anyway.
My route followed the original plot North until reaching the radio mast, South of Mutton Hall. Last time, the footpath at the end of the road was blocked though I thought I'd check once again. No joy, still blocked.
The remaining stretch of the route was uneventful and I got back to the start point without any further navigational challenges!

Just One Step at a Time

Well, I think I can scratch out the goal of making 2019 the year I would improve my running. Like every well-laid plan, it failed the early stages. Some may take the previous statement to mean I’m dejected about the whole thing. I suppose earlier on in the year after cancelling several ‘bucket list’ events I’d signed up for that would have been a good observation. I’d lost my running ‘mojo’ and the experience of getting it back was as successful as starting a Morris Minor (an old car for all you young’ens) on a cold winter's day... A lot of noise and smoke, but no success.  I was so frustrated. There was nothing physically wrong with me, I just couldn’t be arsed. No amount of ‘internal’ pep talking would get me out of the rut.  So I canceled events. The ever wishful part of me thinking I could get out of the rut, left the cancellations too late, and I lost money. Look at it this way. I got a load of DNF (Did not Finish) without even putting my trainers on. What a cyclo...

Telegraph Road Trail Run

This route is one I often run when I am staying at the lodge. It is local and I can start it from my doorstep rather than having to drive to the start. The route gets its name from a lone telegraph pole I stumbled across when I first recce the route. I'm also a Dire Straits fan. I'm always within 15 minutes of the lodge, yet it can feel so remote when I'm running around Moel Ddu (SH7290 3269).  I've only ever seen a few people in the area when I've run the route and they've invariably been on the sections of path which my route joins together. The mixture of bogs and wet mud covered rocks means I'll never beat any speed records . I've been running the route for over two years now and I'm always surprised to see an abandoned quad bike south east of Craiglaseithin (SH6856 3333) near the shore of Llyn Gelli-Gain. I'm not sure of the story behind it. Maybe the farmer has forgotten it's there ! Running clockwise around the shore, I event...

The Past echoes in my Ears. The Scenes take my breath away.

A car beeps its horn twice. Strange how the first sounds angry and the second sounds cheerful though it’s the same tone from the same car. It’s not long before the brief climb up the start of the path leaves the urban sounds of Blaenau Ffestiniog behind and I’m left with the deafening sounds of the breeze blowing through the grasses along the edge of the Llyn and the annoyed tweet of the birds startled from their resting places. It’s hard to believe less than twenty-four hours earlier the whole area had been battered by Storm Hannah. The environment recovers so well. Before long my the horizon is broken by the shell of a building built entirely of slate. Not surprising as there is an abundance of the material piled high all around. The ‘slag piles’, would today be classed as an ecological disaster yet today they’re part of the scenery as they’ve been there before our perspectives and policies changed. The building, probably some form of a warehouse, still tries defiantly to ...
