I’ve never done the whole Centenary round but i have done some of it and especially the Pike on numerous occasions. I’ve never stayed at Mankinholes either but walked passed it many times. Its a fantastic area and worth getting to know better which i intend to do.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-70831194992036135462013-08-05T12:19:58.726+01:002013-08-05T12:19:58.726+01:00Excellent.

We must get out soon though as lethargy is creeping in.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-37400186251017260122013-08-05T08:46:41.848+01:002013-08-05T08:46:41.848+01:00My thoughts exactly Alan, my last trip was too hot...My thoughts exactly Alan, my last trip was too hot for comfort. The heat totally drained me. Looks like you had a lovely wander along the tow path.

Apart from anything else, the prospect of a couple of hours in the car to get to north or mid Wales hasn't appealed much.<br /><br />We've either stuck to routes which are within a short drive (with the inevitable repetition) or those which are accessible by rail, such as the Malverns. <br /><br />I've got a new waterproof as well: a lightweight one, purchased from a shop at full retail price. This was a rare experience for me and I'm still a bit light-headed from it all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
