Having had a few hours sleep and even had the door open on the tent all night it was that warm, we decide to head off early as the forecast was for between 26-28 degrees!
Water became an issue yet again as all the streams and ponds marked on the map were all dried up so we had to keep going in the hope of finding some!
We decided to call it a day when we arrived at Penybont and will tackle the next section to Llandrindod Wells another day!
We intend to tackle the whole route over the course of the year and will make these videos as we go to hopefully encourage others to do the same.
This is a new walking trail that utilises the beautiful single-track railway route that runs from Shrewsbury all the way down to Swansea. The trail officially starts at Craven Arms and is 144 miles long to Llanelli in South Wales.
See the Heart of Wales Line website here for up to date timetables: heart-of-wales.co.uk
Please visit the Heart of Wales Line Trail website for more information. heart-of-wales.co.uk/experiences
They also have a facebook group for the trail which you can join: facebook.com/HeartofWalesLineTrail
There you can download the GPX files for your navigation device. My preferred method is to use an app called Viewranger which you can download onto your phone and the route is also available on there.
