Rest morning

Saturday: Boots and socks still wet this morning so decided to have a day off to dry them out and rest. Kept busy adjusting Boot orientation toward the Sun every 20 minutes. Laundered socks in campsite washing machine; repaired Ortlieb Map wallet with super glue bought in Pontrhydfendigaid village shop yesterday; highlighted next sections of route on map and mailed OS map 187 back home as I had finished with it. These sound like small jobs but together with breakfasting in campsite Café took until 2pm. All made convenient by picnic bench right beside my pitch that I had exclusive use of.

Campsite staff were very helpful in various ways particularly printing a contract I have been sent to sign and providing an envelope. Shop had stamps so I could post it.

By late afternoon laundry was dry and boots were still a little damp but a lot drier so decided to try a little more Cambrian Way. At this point the route is a loop of roughly a mile radius around Woodlands so decided to walk a short section of the route and stay for another night.

Started by walking to nearby Vale of Rheidol railway station for a copy of next OS map. Unfortunately they did not have a copy. Continued South East up B4574 to 'The Arch' where I finished walk yesterday.Leggi altro
