Clwyds Run, Jan 8th 2017 Summary : start of training for a busy year of events, a tough 13-mile run starting from Bwlch Penbarra, over Foel Fenlli, around to Llanferres, over to Loggerheads, Pantymwyn, Cilcain and over Moel Famau to finish.

Helen and I enjoy spending New Year at Center Parcs; a perfect way to charge the batteries up ready for a new term. Up until this year we had opted for the Sherwood Forest location but after a quick visit to Whinfell during the summer to visit my daughter and family we decided to book […]
