I think I may have got caught up in some sort of time machine.

Fragile Do Not Bend
Supposedly I’m very close to Monmouth Castle but I appear to be in an alleyway behind Iceland.

Two miles short of Ludlow Castle in Mortimer Forest for the night but just black so feels like the Twilight Zone.....

Beside the Severn a few miles from Shrewsbury - don't they have big skies in Shropshire

57.5 Degrees of Pain
Got past Chirk today, never knew there was a place called Chirk let alone that it had a castle.

Now outside Rhosllanerchrugog. Glad I found it without having to ask directions...

These houses look like they'll have soft lawns to camp on.

Crick is on the Offa's Dyke route and it also has rather a good canal aqueduct.

Pedantry Alert!

It does indeed Steve N. The route follows Offa’s Dyke for a short distance and passes within a couple of hundred metres of Chirk Aquaduct (and the equally spectacular A483 viaduct) though I suspect you may mean the even more spectacular aquaduct at Pontcysyllte a couple of miles towards Llangollen (the World Heritage site one) Well worth a visit if you’re in the area - and walking over if you have a head for heights.

Crick however is in Northamptonshire, but is, doubtless, also lovely.

Sorry, couldn’t help myself. *gets back in the box of shame*
