Walking or Strolling

The walking group enjoy healthy exercise in the fresh air with the emphasis on enjoyment and companionship as we explore the beautiful countryside in the North Wales area.

You will need boots, with a good tread, no smooth soles; not trainers nor similar very lightweight shoes which won't cope with the rougher or wetter ground very well and could be dangerous in some places.

We will almost always walk on paths or tracks or quiet roads. There will be some steeper sections, but not consisting of hundreds of feet together.

We don't expect to walk for longer than 3 hours. Occasionally we have an all day leisurely walk, bringing a packed lunch. The Leader will have either reconnoitred the walk the week before or know the route well.

Members usually enjoy a hearty Pub lunch after the shorter walks.

Next walk

When:  

Thursday 8 May.

Meet at:  

10.00am in the layby car park at the top of Sychnant Pass at the end of the stone walls not on the Conwy side of the Pass. Grid ref: 750770

The Walk:  

This is a repeat of the walk which had to be curtailed last November due to the gale force wind and horizontal rain! It is a 5 mile walk mainly over exposed heather and bracken clad moorland with super views all around. We will start along the North Wales Coastal path from Sychnant, skirt Foel Lus, go along Jubillee Walk to Capelulo and back to Sychnant.

Walking boots are essential, as will be waterproof coat and over trousers. If it rains you will need these because of the exposed nature of the terrain. If you like to use walking poles please bring them. A hot drink for morning break is recommended.

Lunch will be at the Fairy Glen pub in Capelulo. Non-walkers welcome to join us!

Contact:  

John Morris for any further information. If weather is or looks poor please ring me on the morning of the walk to ascertain if it is still on.
