Starting out?

It's been a while since I posted here, but was really delighted to see the site and forum still going strong - not that I expected it wouldn't, but you never know, do you?

Anyway, I've got the chance to grab a few days camping in Wales next weekend - Llangollen to be precise - nestled, apparantley, in the Dee Valley.

My rather predictable question, therfore, is this. Can anyone advice on suitable spots in the immediate area. Preferably wild camping, but would consider a site in an emergency.

I don't have an infinate timescale in which to get to my spot, as I'm actually cadging a lift off my sister and her hubby who are spending their time there in a hotel. The idea is that they'll drive me to within walking distance of a spot, go off to their hotel and then pick me up on their way home. This means I can't have them trapsing about Wales looking for a suitable spot, so within the immediate area is a must. The hotel is situated within an AONB so I'm hoping there's a good chance I'll find a spot.

Incidently, I'll be coming from Manchester, so if there's anywhere on the way anyone knows of, that'd be just as helpful.

Any help and advice on the area would be very much appreciated.
