Today I walked the Clywedog (clue-eh-dock) trail, which ends just under a mile away from my house. In the brochure that I found online, it says that the trail is about five miles long. So a six and a half mile hike (including walking to the ending and the from the bus stop back home) was what I was expecting. It turned out to be a 10 mile hike. I discovered along the way that it would've been much better to start at the beginning, as the signage towards the end was rather non-existent. (I was going to say "trailed off" but restrained myself...until now.) The only mishap I had was when I missed a turn (no signs!!!) and ended up in an upscale residential area. I got directions from a man (who kept on chuckling as he talked with me, can't think why) and promptly ignored them and went back the way I came and took the other path. But all in all, it was well worth the trek. The woods between Bersham and Nant Mill were absolutely gorgeous, and as a bonus, I got to hear bells after the end of a wedding as I walked by a church. Thank you to all the kind people who gave me directions along the way! Next time, I'll bring a map.
