Hi, how about the Mawddach Trail from Dolgellau to Barmouth a nice flat scenic trail along the Mawddach estuary. Harder route back is the Panorama Walk from Barmouth looking down on the estuaryfrom the north side and on to the gold mines near Bontddu then on to Dolgellau perhaps using the Toll Bridge to Penmaenpool. I need 2 days for round trip.

X94 is a good bus service from Wrexham where i am, direct to Barmouth via Bala and Dolgellau.

Ain't bus passes a wonderful thing

I think the South West Path (which seems to be in excess of 600 miles) might be a bit more than a multi-day hike, more like a multi-week trip!

Love walking the north cornwall coastal path, also  cycling the lanes.

Picture is near National Trust Doyden.

Plenty of reasonable priced campsites.

Cycled the Cornish Mines  Trail Last summer. Only 11 miles Portreath to Devoran, plenty of walkers on it as well.

One problem, my bus pass won't work in cornwall

Quote: Yeah but you don't have to do it all in one go

Scep said  That is a shame. I thought bus passes were more or less universal?

Sadly not, my welsh bus pass won't  work over there

Camp at Trewiston Farm for couple of weeks every august so the Rumps is a favourite walk.

Then Falmouth for 2 weeks usualy Cosawes park so getting to know the area well.

Scotland:

Southern upland way - from Portpatrick on the south-west coast of Scotland to Cockburnspath on the eastern seaboard. It offers superb and varied walking country, still undiscovered by many enthusiasts.

The daddy - West Highland way - Milngavie to Fort William

Re Trewiston Farm. Yes Scep thats the one. My cousin has been bringing his dinghy to sail the Camel Week for many years. I've joined them the last 6 years really enjoy the area.I usually arrive first, end of july and leave last after 4/5 weeks.

The site is quite large and has 3 fields for campers, the one you can see from the road which has electric, one for none electric tents and also a field for caravans staying the season. There are also a few static caravans.

2 toilet blocks and laundry, one block only 2 years old. Toilets and showers in good condition plenty of hot water and cleaned twice daily.

It's a working farm big machines around some times early A.M.

Good points Nice walks to Daymer Bay,Polzeath and Pityme (Arms)

I paid £16 per night for myself in a touring caravan with elec(sorry *****) which i'd loaned, previously i'd had a camper van.

This year i'll be a tenter, hopefully in a Hypercamp after reading good things about them on this forum.

I intend to hike along Hadrian's Wall Path, taking 6 days to cover the 84 miles.

I really enjoyed doing the isle of wight coastal path

Apart from every now and again the path disappears where it has slipped down the cliffs

Did a couple of random wild camps, lovely on top of a cliff, sunset coming down over the sea
