Penycloddiau 2004

 

This summit was walked and activated on Thursday 22nd July 2004, on my own on this occasion.    Click to return to summit index

 

Today's activation went to plan. After dropping my dad off in Runcorn, I continued to the end of the M56, onto the A55, and down to the villlage of Nanerch, continuing across down the lane to the small car park for this section of the Offa's Dyke Path. On this occasion, I did not mistakenly follow the land rover track, but followed the higher and narrower ODP.  After a 25 minute dash to the summit, I set up and quickly worked 7 regular chasers, all of whom had read the reflector and were waiting for me. Many thanks!

After packing up, I descended in a little over 15 minutes, and drove back to Runcorn where my dad complained that I was half-an-hour late.  Oh well, you can please SOME of the people ALL of the time etc etc etc.......
