Heart of Wales Line Trail | Section Two | Broome to Bucknell

Today myself, Dave Outdoors and another colleague, Rich from Wild Astro started on the second part of the multi day route called the 'Heart of Wales Line Trai'l. We walked from the end of section one, Broome down to Bucknell using the Heart of Wales Line train service to get to the start. Todays route is 14 1/2km (just over 10 miles).
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: www.heart-of-w...
Please visit the Heart of Wales Line Trail website for more information. www.heart-of-w...
They also have a facebook group for the trail which you can join: / 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.

There is also a Guidebook available from Amazon so please see the link below

Well done Gordon another great advert for the trail. Lots of mud yet to come. Look forward to seeing the next one. Martin

Ha ha! Yes indeed, getting used to the mud now! Looking forward to getting further into Wales where of course it hardly ever rains!

Another very enjoyable video. I must say, I think you do a great job of editing all your videos. Keep em coming, Thank you.

[@ashropshirelad]

Thankyou, thats very kind of you to say. I also appreciate you taking the time to like and comment. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Cannot beat an early start and missing all the crowds and great idea with the train/car. Bit of a muddy old walk and very impressive gymnastics and I am with Dave, I hate bloody cows (and dogs), unless I am eating one (cow, not dog)! Stunning skies at 4.48 and good to see you did not have too bad weather for a canny walk out. I think Lisa will approve, cheers Alan

[@ashropshirelad]

Thanks again for watching and yours kind words Alan. Looking forward to some better weather and getting further out into the welsh hills soon

[@MyVagabondAdventures]

Cheers for watching Rustle, I can recommend these, especially these first two as you have options for the train half way on both.

Gorgeous route I gotta say. I adore them rolling hills and wooded valleys. Aaah, Mid Wales. People kinda bypass it but it is epic. You should have fun. Mark

[@ashropshirelad]

I know what you mean, I work over in that direction and often get a view of those hills and I'm really looking forward to hiking them. Many Thanks.

[@WyeExplorer]
