De Cicerone wandelgids en/of fietsgids heeft een handzaam formaat en de informatie in de gids is steeds bijzonder compleet. De tochten zijn geordend per streek, met diverse uitstapjes in de locale historie.
Start/eindpunt, afstand en hoogteverschillen zijn prima aangegeven. Verder kleur kopieën van de topografische kaarten 1:50.000 met de wandelroutes ingetekend. Zijn wat minder dan bij de meeste Duitse gidsen maar gecombineerd met een goede topografische kaart is dit geen probleem.
Daarnaast is er algemene informatie, een handig lijst van adressen en telefoonnummers van medische voorzieningen, openbaar vervoer, toeristische informatie, etc.
This guide's 11 detailed stages describe Glyndwr's Way, a mid-Wales long-distance National Trail of 135 miles taking 9 days to complete and 2 days (and 29 miles) completing the loop down the Offa's Dyke Path. It loops west from Knighton via Machynlleth to Welshpool and covers unfrequented countryside of quiet hills and forest.
The gentle, unfrequented countryside of Powys in mid-Wales has a charm all its own. Glynd?r’s Way (Llwybr Glynd?r) is a 135-mile National Trail that follows in the footsteps of the great Welsh hero and offers experienced backpackers a new way to explore, looping west from Knighton up to Pen Punlumon Fawr, onwards to Machynlleth and back to Welshpool.
Taking in landscapes associated with 15th-century Welsh leader Owain Glynd?r, the trail also passes many archaeological remains and remnants of the area's industrial heritage, all explained in the route description as you go.
Although much of the terrain is remote and you're likely to have many sections to yourself, the route is a National Trail and clearly waymarked with distinctive dragon symbols throughout and there is accommodation available at the end of every stage if you prefer not to camp.
This guide offers all the information you need to complete the main trail in 9 days and also a further 2 stages (29 miles) along the Offa’s Dyke Path to return to the start at Knighton.
